Our Facility
The Victoria General Hospital is a 231 bed community
hospital located in south Winnipeg. We have more than
1,200 staff and 350 volunteers and together, we provide
core health care services to thousands of Manitobans
each year.
For almost a century, the Victoria General Hospital
has served residents of Winnipeg and Manitoba, showing
leadership, being innovative and providing high quality
health care services within an increasingly complex
and challenging health care system., The Vic is a committed
team of caring, highly skilled professionals and volunteers,
dedicated to providing quality health care to the community
we serve.
The original Victoria General Hospital was built in
1911 at the corner of River and Osborne. In 1971, the
Hospital moved to its present location on Pembina Highway
in south Winnipeg. Change and growth have been guided
by the Hospital's mission, which is "to pursue
excellence in the provision of quality healthcare and
to provide leadership in the delivery of specialized
services."
