Misericordia Health Centre

Today, ownership of the hospital is the responsibility of the Misericordia Corporation within the Archdiocese of Winnipeg.

The Misericordia Sisters soon realized there was an increasing need from the community and in 1900 they moved to two and a half acres of land between Sherbrook and Maryland streets to establish the Winnipeg Maternity Hospital.

A few years later, in December 1906, a three-storey, $145,000 T-shaped addition, designed by architects Senecal & Smith was added.

The basement level was reserved for separate dining areas for priests, nurses and patients.
