History

The Misericordia Sisters began their service here in Winnipeg in 1898 The Sisters played a strong role in the community taking care of young single mothers and their babies Their commitment was to serve a true reflection of their motto Compassion of the heart for those in need

The need for their caring service quickly grew Their early days foreshadowed the development of expanded service that would bring the Sisters healthcare provision to a new and broader base Their facility owned and operated by the Sisters eventually expanded and became known as the Misericordia General Hospital

During much of this early period service expanded to meet the growing needs of this thriving prairie community At that time funding came from charity and private payment for services Over the years funding later came from the province

More recently our facility ownership changed from the Misericordia Sisters to the Misericordia Corporation within the Archdiocese of Winnipeg Today funding for programs and services is administered through the Winnipeg Health Region and charitable donations
