A working group to explore designating the Ste Anne Hospital as a regional health care centre has formed and will hold its first meeting later this month.
The province, in a March 20 news release, said the 18-member group will look at the hospital’s infrastructure, staffing and long-term sustainability. It will also assess its service capacity and consider expanding the health care provided. The working group was first created in September 2025
Ste Anne Mayor Yvan St. Vincent and Southern Health’s chief medical officer Dr. Aly Dhala will co-chair the group.
Its members include Association of Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities president Ivan Normandeau, La Broquerie’s deputy reeve Laurent Tetrault and Tyler Blashko, NDP MLA for Lagimodière. Health care officials from Southern Health and Shared Health will also have seats as members.
The group will hold public consultations and meet with residents, health care providers and community leaders as it creates recommendations for Uzoma Asagwara, the minister of health, seniors and long-term care, and Southern Health’s CEO Dana Human.
