Welcome Welcome to Concordia Hospital, your 186-bed community hospital and Concordia Place providing a personal home like care to 140 residents. We hope this Patient Services Directory will help to inform you and your family of the services here and where to find them.

At Concordia our everyday heroes -- our staff, leaders, physicians and surgeons strive to provide compassionate and respectful quality care to our patients and their families. As a Mennonite faith-based organization, we are here to serve as we partner with our Primary Care Community Clinics, North East Winnipeg Community Services, our faith community, and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA).

While we know that change is coming to the services offered throughout the WRHA, our Emergency Departments and Intensive Care Units will remain fully functional until late spring of 2018. We are pleased that this past year, Concordia Hospital has improved wait times for clients in our Emergency Department. We are pleased that Concordia Hospital will be able to continue its role as a community leader offering quality, compassionate care in a faith-based environment to all patients we see. We excel as a provincial leader in hip and knee surgery, and our care for the elderly, for our patients, and for our community has been recognized and applauded. We ask you for your continued prayers for the health of the citizens of our community and Winnipeg.

Sincerely,

Valerie Wiebe,

Michael Woelcke,

Concordia’s History Concordia Hospital was started in 1928 by a group of Mennonites who had immigrated to Canada from Russia. Seeing the need for health care in the growing immigrant community, they started their first project, which was a four-bed maternity hospital on 290 Machray Avenue, with two volunteer nurses and one volunteer obstetrician. Over the past 90 years, with God’s blessing and the dedication and perseverance of many, Concordia Hospital has grown to include an acute care hospital and a long term care facility, serving 320 patients and residents with an extensive campus of services.

Despite the many changes and the growth, the mission of Concordia Hospital remains the same, “To provide outstanding health services, in a way that reflects Mennonite Christian values and demonstrates our passion to serve our community.”

290 Machray Avenue

Left to right: Drs R. Claassen, H. Oelkers, N.J. Neufeld, and G. Hiebert

We believe that we have a mutual obligation to care for each other. In all that we do, we strive to follow the example of Christ who was moved by compassion to heal the sick, comfort the sorrowful and welcome marginalized people. We emphasize the connections between faith, words and actions. Just like those who started Concordia in 1928, we hope that you will feel that obligation as we provide care and service at Concordia today.

“True evangelical faith cannot lie sleeping, it comforts the sorrowful… it heals the wounded.” (Menno Simons 1583).

Mission, Vision, Values Mission The mission of Concordia Hospital is to provide outstanding health services, in a way that reflects Mennonite Christian values and demonstrates our passion to serve our community.

Vision The vision of Concordia Hospital is to be an excellent community hospital.

Values Compassion and Respect We believe in the sacredness and uniqueness of all patients, their families, and members of the Concordia Care Team. We treat each other with compassion and respect.

Excellence Each of us is committed to excellence. We will consistently improve the quality and safety of our care and services.

Teamwork We are committed to working together as a team. Our Concordia Care Team includes patients, family members, physicians, staff and volunteers.

Accountability We are each responsible for our own actions as well as the success of the team. We show a sense of ownership and are responsible to our community for Concordia’s performance.

Patient Experience Surveys

Questions, Concerns, and Feedback

Patient Relations

Concordia Hospital participates in the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) Patient Experience Surveys. The surveys are sent out to a random selection of people who have been admitted to our hospital or have needed to use the Emergency Department’s services. If a person is randomly selected for a survey, it is sent in the mail usually two to three months after their visit.

The surveys have been developed by the National Research Council of Canada and ask a variety of multiple choice questions (with room for comments) regarding the care and services received at the hospital.

Concordia Hospital then uses the survey feedback that has been submitted to help inform our care teams about what is done really well with the care we provide, and areas where there is opportunity to improve. The feedback is then used to make further improvements to our patients’ experience to ensure we are providing the best care possible.

Tell Us Your Story We’d love to hear from you. Tell us about your experience at Concordia Hospital.

Was there something or someone who impressed you? Are there areas where you think we can do better?

Share your feedback with us by filling out our online form at https://forms.manitoba-ehealth.ca/ch/tellusyourstory/. Provide your name, email address, and your feedback. Let us know if you would like us to contact you to further discuss your feedback. If you choose to be contacted, you will be contacted within two working days.

Well Wishes to Patients Sending your love to patients at Concordia Hospital The Concordia Hospital “Well Wishes” program gives you the opportunity to send your special thoughts and best wishes to patients at our facility.

Well wishes from family and friends bring a bright ray of sunshine to recipients, and are a wonderful way to show how much you care.

How it Works Concordia Hospital Volunteers deliver “Well Wishes” to patients on a daily basis (excluding weekends and holidays). The process is simple. Go to the Well Wishes link on the Concordia Hospital website www.concordiahospital.mb.ca, compose and submit your message. Our volunteers will receive the printed email and hand deliver it to the patient. If the patient wishes, the volunteer will read the message aloud.

All messages received are handled confidentially. However, a Concordia Hospital Volunteer Services staff member will need to read these messages in order to ensure content is appropriate. As well, patients may choose to have the message read aloud.

The system is designed for well wishes only. We cannot send outgoing replies from patients. E-mails intended to conduct personal business, containing questionable content or business/vendor solicitations will be deleted from the system.

If the patient has been discharged, or cannot be located in our facility (some patients request anonymity), the email will not be delivered.

Send your love through the Concordia Hospital “Well Wishes” program, and make today special for someone close to you in our care.

Please be aware that you are unable to insert pictures or send any form of attachment(s).

Volunteer Services Giving Back Concordia Hospital is a community hospital, and we have always relied on community support. Volunteers have been the cornerstone of Concordia Hospital since its inception more than 89 years ago. Volunteers contribute their unique talents, skills, and knowledge to our facility and our community to provide personalized attention to our patients, to enable employees to concentrate on the work for which they are trained and to foster good relations between the hospital and the public which it serves. Over 350 volunteers provide over 27,000 hours of service to Concordia Hospital and Concordia Place.

Are you interested in getting involved? We offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities.

For example, volunteers assist as ambassadors throughout the hospital, provide visits to patients, and deliver newspapers and fresh water to inpatient units. Volunteer positions are available 7 days a week, in morning, afternoon and evening shifts.

At risk for falls?

Falls are a leading cause of injury related to hospitalizations in the elderly population.

Many people suffer serious injuries as the result of falls. Concordia Hospital is committed to reducing falls in the hospital setting. Tell the nurse if there are any issues that relate to you or your family member so that we can plan ways to reduce the risk of falls.

Concordia Hospital has a Falls Prevention Program to alert staff when someone may be at risk for falls. A falling man symbol placed at the head of the bed indicates that a patient may be at risk for falls. Staff will implement appropriate safety measures in order to reduce the chances of sustaining a fall while in hospital.

It is important for family members to inform staff when they are about to leave. This will allow staff to reset the bed or chair alarm, if one is being used. While no system is fail proof, communication with staff is essential to ensure all safety measures in place work to their fullest potential.

Language Services It is important that you and your family can communicate clearly with your health care team. People specially trained to interpret health information in dozens of languages can assist with many languages and dialects.

If you would like to have an interpreter, please talk to your nurse to make arrangements.

For American Sign Language-English interpretation services and interveners for deafblind persons, contact E-Quality Communication Centre of Excellence Inc.: Phone: 204-926-3271 Fax: 204-452-0688 TTY: 204-452-0687
