About St. Boniface Hospital Foundation

St. Boniface Hospital Foundation makes amazing things happen. Working with our community, we power compassionate patient care and innovative research in the heart of Manitoba at Western Canada’s first hospital. From just four beds, St. B has grown to be Manitoba’s second-largest hospital with global-calibre medical and research expertise thanks to donor support. We have a proven track record of working with our community to fund remarkable innovations in patient care and medical research at St. Boniface Hospital, performing Manitoba’s first open-heart surgery in 1959, opening the country’s first free-standing research facility in 1987, and bringing the first Hybrid Operating Room to our province in 2022.
