IHCAM advocates on behalf of its membership the value of faith-based health care and governance.

Value of Independently governed Faith and Values based Healthcare
The Boards of Directors of the Interfaith Health Care Association of MB (IHCAM) and the Catholic Healthcare Association of MB (CHAM) met on April 30th to take part in the presentation of the proposed Communications Strategy that aims to demonstrate the strength faith and values based not-for-profit independently owned organizations in the health and human service sectors can bring to the province of Manitoba. This gathering comes after nine months of research, surveys, focus groups and one-on-one interviews.
The next steps include appointing 7 people to an advisory council that will give the direction on the first phase of implementing the action plan and determine the budget requirements which will then be presented to each respective board for approval.
