Celebrating 30 years of Compassion, Collaboration, and Faith in Healthcare
January 28 2025

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.

 

Calvary Place Celebrates 25 Years of Compassion, Community, and Legacy 
January 27 2025

This year, Calvary Place Personal Care Home marks a remarkable milestone: 25 years of dedicated service to Winnipeg’s seniors and their families. Since opening its doors in 2000, Calvary Place has been a sanctuary of care, connection, and dignity—a legacy that shone brightly during its recent anniversary celebration.  
 
A Journey Built on Dedication
 
At the heart of Calvary Place’s story are the people who have shaped its mission. Nineteen (19) devouted staff members, including the facility’s Medical Director, Dr. Duane Hartley, have been part of the Calvary Place family since January 3, 2000. For 25 years, their unwavering commitment has fostered a culture of warmth and respect that residents and families cherish.  
 
A Living Legacy: Meet Our Longest-Standing Resident 
 
Calvary Place’s history is also written by its residents. One of the very first individuals admitted on January 24, 2000, still calls Calvary Place home today. This inspiring resident has witnessed the care home’s evolution over 25 years, embodying the resilience and joy that define the community. Their continued presence is a powerful testament to the quality of life Calvary Place strives to provide.  
 
Celebrating 25 Years of Memories
 
The anniversary celebration was a heartfelt tribute to decades of service. Staff, residents, families, and friends gathered to share stories, laughter, and gratitude.
 
As Calvary Place steps into its next chapter, the organization remains rooted in its core values while embracing innovation in senior care.
 
To the staff, residents, families, and supporters who have made Calvary Place a beacon of compassion: thank you. Your trust, dedication, and kindness have built a legacy that will endure for generations.
