The Health Sciences
Centre was established in 1973 through an Act of the Legislative Assembly
of Manitoba. The Act brought together several of Western Canada’s most
respected health care institutions, each unique in its own history of
service: The Winnipeg General Hospital, The
Children’s Hospital of Winnipeg, The Manitoba Rehabilitation Hospital
and the D.A. Stewart Centre (Respiratory Hospital).
The purpose of the merger
was to produce global hospital planning, uniting these facilities under a
single administration. A separate affiliation agreement was signed with
the Manitoba Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation (CancerCare
Manitoba).
On
April 1, 2000, the Health Sciences Centre was amalgamated with the
Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) and since, has been governed by
the W.R.H.A. Board of Directors. The Health Sciences Centre Act was subsequently repealed by
the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and the Health Sciences Centre became
an operating division of the W.R.H.A.
