History

The Health Sciences Centre was established in 1973 by the Government of Manitoba. It combined the Winnipeg General Hospital, Children's Hospital of Winnipeg, Manitoba Rehabilitation Hospital, and the D.A. Stewart Centre (Respiratory Hospital) into a campus with one administration.[2]

On 1 April 2000, The Health Sciences Centre Act amalgamated the HSC with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA); however, the act was subsequently repealed by Manitoba's Legislative Assembly and, a year later, HSC became an operating division of the WRHA, governed by the WRHA Board of Directors.[2]

On 28 November 2016, the new HSC helipad opened up on top of the diagnostic imaging centre. However, the pad was not listed in the Canada Flight Supplement until 1 February 2018.[3]

On 5 April 2019, responsibility over HSC was given to Shared Health.[2]

ER death

In November 2008, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority cleared ^{[citation needed]} the hospital in the death of Brian Sinclair, a visibly disabled indigenous man. Sinclair died of a bladder infection while waiting 34 hours in the waiting area for the hospital's emergency room.[4] The death has prompted changes in the hospital's triage system.[5]
