Within the Province of Manitoba, a faith-based healthcare facility is a publicly funded facility which is owned and sponsored by the faith community. As a publicly funded facility, we have an obligation to provide health care which meets or exceeds government and professional standards. As facilities which are sponsored by the various faith communites, we have an obligation to provide care in a manner that is consistent with and expressive of the faith tradition values and ethics.
Because we represent faith-based facilities, we establish our policies, set our goals and evaluate our programs in light of a particular set of values which is deeply rooted in our Christian faith and heritage. In all that we do we strive to incorporate the following in each of our facilities:
