The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA; French: Office régional de la santé de Winnipeg, ORSW) is the governing body for healthcare regulation for the City of Winnipeg, the northern community of Churchill, and the Rural Municipalities of East and West St. Paul, in the Canadian province of Manitoba. The WRHA also provides health-care support and specialty referral services to those Manitobans who live out of these boundaries, as well as residents of northwestern Ontario and Nunavut.[1]
The Winnipeg health region is divided into 12 community areas for the purpose of aiding the delivery of health services.[1] Operating or funding more than 200 health service facilities and programs, the WRHA is the largest of the five regional health authorities (RHAs) in Manitoba.[1] More particularly, the WRHA consists of 35 personal care homes, 12 community health agencies, 20 community health offices, 2 tertiary hospitals, 4 community hospitals, and 4 long-term care centres.[2]
In October 2008, the Winnipeg Free Press announced that WRHA was named one of Manitoba's Top Employers;[3] and, as of 2021, it employs over 14,000 people.[1]
As of 2009, the WRHA also publishes a bi-monthly health and wellness magazine, called Wave. Beginning publication in 2009, Wave moved to being an online-only magazine in 2017. Brian Cole was the editor of the magazine at the time.[4]
