Working Together

Closing health gaps is not something the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority can accomplish on its own. That is why we are actively engaging with other stakeholders in our community to work together and build solutions.

Numerous WRHA initiatives are working to close the health gap. The WRHA Board has expressed their position, in position statements, on a number of important issues affecting the health of the public. Visit these sites to learn more about WRHA initiatives:
