Park Manor Expands with 90 New Beds in $72M Investment
Exciting news for Manitoba’s long-term care sector! Park Manor Personal Care Home is set to undergo a $72 million expansion, adding 90 much-needed beds to its facility. This major development will help address the increasing demand for long-term care services in the region, providing better access and enhanced care for seniors.
This year, the Interfaith Health Care Association of Manitoba (IHCAM) celebrates a milestone that resonates far beyond numbers: 30 years of bridging faith and healthcare to uplift communities. Since 1995, IHCAM has embodied a vision where compassion transcends boundaries, collaboration sparks innovation, and faith fuels hope.
A Legacy Rooted in Unity
IHCAM was born from a bold idea: that healthcare is not just a service but a sacred calling, enriched by the diversity of faith traditions. Over three decades, this belief has grown into a movement. By uniting faith communities, advocating for equitable care, and addressing gaps in health services, IHCAM has become a cornerstone of support for Manitobans—especially those often overlooked.
Stories That Define Us
While statistics mark progress—30 years of programs, partnerships, and policy strides—the heart of IHCAM’s legacy lies in the lives transformed. Picture the young family who found solace in a culturally sensitive care program, the senior who regained independence through a faith-based wellness initiative, or the interfaith coalition that turned dialogue into action during a public health crisis. These stories are not just milestones; they are testaments to the power of collective goodwill.
The Road Ahead
As we honour this anniversary, we recognize that the journey is far from over. Healthcare disparities persist, and new challenges emerge. Yet IHCAM’s resolve remains unshaken. Grounded in faith and driven by compassion, we continue to adapt, innovate, and advocate—because every Manitoban deserves care that honours their dignity, culture, and humanity.
