MHC is at the Union Centre (275 Broadway) today till 1pm! If you’re nearby, come grab a lawn sign to show your support for a fully public and accessible health care system.

With the future of Medicare on the line thanks for Alberta’s Bill 11, we have to be organized and make our voices heard in defense of the public health care system across the country.

MHC joined our friends at Manitoba Association of Health Care Professionals - MAHCP for today’s info picket about the potential for a strike of Dynacare lab professionals.

These health care professionals deserve equal pay for equal work, but their private, for-profit employer would rather keep paying them 20-50% less than folks doing the same work in the public system.

This is what comes from contracting out vital health care services to a private, American-owned company. They put profits before people.

Working conditions are caring conditions. Patient care depends on a strong contract for these underpaid Manitoba workers.

Are you one of the 9 in 10 Canadians concerned about the future of public health care?

Do you believe that the federal government must do more to enforce the Canada Health Act and invest in a public health care system that works for everyone?

If this sounds like you, come down to the Union Centre (275 Broadway) to learn more about the fight to defend public health care across Canada and grab one of our gorgeous lawn signs to show your support.

The Manitoba Health Coalition will be in the lobby of the Union Centre on Thursday, Sept 3rd from 10-1pm. See you there!

On September 1st, Canadians across the country took action to stop the spread of American-style private health care.

As part of this national day of action, the Manitoba Health Coalition held a rally outside of Liberal MP Doug Eyolfson’s office and delivered our joint statement calling for the federal government to defend the Canada Health Act and stop two-tier, American-style health care from taking hold in Alberta and beyond.

MHC director Noah Schulz, SPCW executive director Kate Kehler, and CUPE 204 president Margaret Schroeder also met with MP Eyolfson in his office to discuss the need for federal leadership on this pressing issue.

There is no time to waste.

Drug poisonings and addiction can impact any of us. These are health issues and need to be addressed through a holistic, health care lens.

On this overdose awareness day, we rallied in front of the ‘Leg and called on the government to do more to protect our community members who use drugs.

It was a powerful action to be part of.

The die-in was especially moving and the whole day is a time to reflect on all the people we’ve lost to preventable deaths due to drug poisonings and how we can invest in solutions to help save lives.

Harm reduction, treatment, and prevention are all crucial aspects of keeping our relatives safe.

We also need to address poverty and racism to really get to the roots of this crisis.

Destigmatizing this crisis and investing in solutions takes all of us doing our part.
