Frequently asked questions about Winnipeg Clinic
Answers to questions we are asked most often about Winnipeg hospital services. For anything time-sensitive, confirm with Shared Health Manitoba.
Is this the official website of Winnipeg Clinic?
No. This is an independent informational guide. For official services, appointments, and contact details, visit Shared Health Manitoba at the official website. This site simply explains what to expect and links you to authoritative sources.
How do I check emergency wait times?
Estimated wait times for the region are often published by Shared Health Manitoba. They are estimates and change quickly. In a genuine emergency, call 911 rather than waiting to check a website.
What should I bring to the emergency department?
Bring your provincial health card, a current list of medications with dosages, a note of any allergies, and a short timeline of your symptoms. If you have recent results or imaging, bring those too.
How do I find current visiting hours?
Visiting hours vary by unit and can change with infection-prevention measures. Confirm the hours for the specific unit by calling it directly or checking Shared Health Manitoba's official website before you travel.
What do I need for a planned admission?
Bring your health card or photo ID, your medication list, allergy information, any referral letter, and recent test results. Follow any pre-admission instructions, which may include fasting or medication changes.
Where can I get non-urgent health advice?
You can call Health Links – Info Santé at 204-788-8200 for confidential health advice, or contact your family physician or a walk-in clinic. For emergencies, always call 911.
