Dauphin Cancer Care Continues

Temporary changes to Dauphin Cancer Care services due to flooding

Updated July 9, 2026

Dauphin Regional Health Centre is closed due to flooding, and no services are being provided at the hospital. All cancer care services previously provided at the CancerCare Clinic in the hospital have moved to new locations, some within Dauphin, and some in other communities, described below.

We understand this may be stressful and inconvenient. Please know that CancerCare Manitoba and Prairie Mountain Health are working together to make sure you continue to receive the care you need as safely as possible.

What you need to know

Your cancer care continues — safely, at a new location.

  • Appointments with your cancer doctor will continue — by phone, or in person at the Dauphin Medical Clinic, 622 3rd Street,SW, which is located across from the hospital.
  • If your appointment was by phone or virtual, it will go ahead as planned.
  • If your treatment or appointment was scheduled at the CancerCare Clinic in the hospital, it will be moved to a new location. Your care team will contact you directly to discuss where your treatment will take place, such as Russell, Neepawa or Brandon.
  • Your appointment time may also need to change. We will book you as close to your original date and time as possible, and your care team will make sure any change is safe for your treatment plan.
  • We are coordinating appointments, bloodwork and treatments whenever possible to reduce travel and make your care as convenient as we can.

Other temporary service changes

  • Bloodwork: Ste. Rose du Lac Health Centre
  • Care for ports and central lines: Available at community facilities, including Ste. Rose du Lac, Grandview and Roblin. Your care team will let you know where to go.
  • Hormone injections: Now provided at the Dauphin Medical Clinic ([ADDRESS]), moved from the CancerCare Clinic in the hospital.
  • Cancer medications taken by mouth (pill-based): Prescriptions will be sent to your local community pharmacy. The Dauphin Community Pharmacy remains open.

Do I need to call?

Most patients do not need to call. Your care team will contact you directly.

  • If your appointment is more than 7 days away: Please wait to hear from your care team. We will contact you if anything changes.
  • If your appointment is within the next 7 days: If you have not heard from your care team and you have questions, please call the Dauphin Cancer Care team (temporarily based in Russell) at 204-773-7550 (Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–4:00 pm).

Travelling to another community for treatment?

Before you travel, check Manitoba 511 for current road conditions, as some roads may be closed or damaged.

If travelling to another location is difficult for you, please tell your care team. We will work with you to find the safest and best option for your care.

We review these arrangements regularly and will update this page as more information becomes available. For current facility status, please visit the Dauphin Regional Health Centre Services Updates webpage.

Dauphin Regional Health Centre Services Update

Dauphin Regional Health Centre Services Update

July 8, 2026

Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) and Shared Health would like to extend its appreciation to all provincial and community partners who have assisted and supported the region during the recent evacuation of the Dauphin Regional Health Centre (DRHC) due to flooding.

While initial response efforts have allowed us to better understand the impacts to the facility, extensive damage to critical infrastructure, particularly within the basement level of the DRHC, has been identified. As a result, the closure of DRHC will need to remain in effect for an extended period while assessments, repairs, and remediation activities are completed.

Prairie Mountain Health, along with Shared Health partners in Lab and Diagnostics, are committed and working diligently to re-establish services in Dauphin as soon as possible.

We recognize the continued impact this has on our community and appreciate your patience as recovery efforts continue.
Our highest priority is ensuring patients receive safe, high-quality care. At this time, planning is underway to reestablish emergency department and diagnostic services as a priority. We will continue to provide updates to the public on the progress of opening services at DRHC.

While we work towards these solutions, please be assured that health services continue to be available. For updates on services, please click here.

Anyone experiencing an emergent or urgent medical concern, please call 911. EMS (ambulance services) will respond and transport you to the nearest open emergency department.

The Ste Rose Hospital Emergency Department is open 24/7.

The Grandview Emergency Department is open 7 days a week – please check schedule here to confirm hours.

Please to our Emergency Department Schedules for the most up to date hours of operation at the ED nearest you.

For non-urgent care needs, we encourage Dauphin and area residents to call Health Links at 1-888-315-9257. Health Links / Info Santé provides 24 hour, 7 days a week, telephone information service by registered nurses and doctors with the knowledge to provide answers over the phone and guide you to the care you need.

Prairie Mountain Health and Shared Health are committed to providing regular updates as additional information becomes available and appreciate everyone’s patience while this extensive work continues.

Update on Flood Evacuations in Dauphin

Update on Flood Evacuations in Dauphin

July 3, 2026

Statement from Dr. Chris Christodoulou, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Shared Health, Treena Slate, Chief Executive Officer, Prairie Mountain Health and Jason Little, Chief Operating Officer, Emergency Response Services, Shared Health.

Due to ongoing flooding in Dauphin, Prairie Mountain Health and Shared Health have successfully coordinated the evacuation of 54 patients from Dauphin Regional Health Centre (DRHC). All patients arrived safely at their destinations early Thursday morning, less than 24 hours after evacuation was initiated.

A Provincial Health Incident Command led by Shared Health will continue to support ongoing coordination of safe patient care and expedited recovery plans for the DRHC.

This is a tremendous collaboration of efforts between health regions, Virtual Emergency Care and Transfer Resource Service (VECTRS), Emergency Medical Services ground transport, Shared Health Patient Flow, Medical Transportation and Coordination Centre (MTCC), municipal stakeholders the City and RM of Dauphin, and partners including the Dauphin Fire Department, Office of the Fire Commissioner (OFC) and our Government supports.

Patient evacuations included 53 adults and one infant, along with eight additional patients who were able to be discharged to the comfort of their own homes. The 54 patients evacuated were safely transferred to areas within the Prairie Mountain Health region, Southern Health-Sante Sud, Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and Shared Health. We extend our sincere gratitude to the staff in these regions who supported without hesitation to ensure each patient’s needs were met upon arrival.

The flood also required the closure of the Emergency Department at the DRHC. A temporary Assessment and Minor Treatment Clinic is now operational out of the Dauphin Community Health Services Building, adjacent to the hospital. This clinic will be staffed 24/7 and will assess emergent and urgent concerns and manage minor illnesses and treatments.

Updated emergency department schedules will be posted on the Prairie Mountain Health website when available. Anyone experiencing an emergency is still urged to call 911.

While this is a dynamic situation, health care teams across the province are working around the clock to ensure continuity of care. The amounts of rain experienced in the province in June have been record breaking and we recognize the impact not only on our health system, but in the homes of our health care staff who continue to provide care while experiencing their own personal emergencies. We deeply commend their dedication to patients during this time.

At this time, there is no confirmed date for the reopening of the DRHC Emergency Department. We recognize the impact this has on our community and appreciate your patience as recovery efforts continue. Insurance assessors and restoration teams are working as quickly as possible to complete thorough damage assessments and determine the full scope of repairs required.

Our highest priority is ensuring patients receive safe, high-quality care. While we are committed to reopening the emergency department and welcoming patients back to their home community as soon as possible, we will only do so when the space has been fully restored, thoroughly cleaned, and is equipped to provide the level of care our patients deserve.

All efforts will be made to keep patients, and their loved ones, informed. We thank families for their patience and ensure every possible measure is being taken to provide the safety, comfort, and well-being of their loved ones.

Information and Support:

Anyone seeking information about a loved one who has been relocated is asked to call the Patient Information Line operated by Health Links at: 1-888-315-9257

For non-urgent matters, we encourage Dauphin and area residents to call Health Links at 1-888-315-9257. This call-in-line can also be used to inquire about any services updates at Dauphin Regional Health Centre.

First-year medical students to participate in Rural Week

News Release: First-year medical students to participate in ‘Rural Week’ 2026

Dr. Kyle Conrad, PMH Associate Chief Medical Officer

An enthusiastic group of first-year medical students from the University of Manitoba’s Max Rady College of Medicine will participate in Rural Week across the Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) region from May 25–29 and June 1–5.

Coordinated annually by the Department of Family Medicine, Shared Health (Manitoba Healthcare Providers Network), and Manitoba’s rural regional health authorities, Rural Week offers students valuable first-hand experience in rural and northern medical practice, while highlighting the benefits of living and working in these communities.

This year, Prairie Mountain Health is hosting 41 students across 14 communities, including Brandon, Carberry, Dauphin, Deloraine, Grandview, Hamiota, Killarney, Minnedosa, Neepawa, Roblin, Russell, Souris, Ste. Rose, and Virden.

The program introduces students to both the clinical and community aspects of rural healthcare, often their first exposure to rural practice. During the week, students will shadow physicians, connect with healthcare teams, and explore local services, while also engaging in community activities that showcase rural life.

PMH Associate Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kyle Conrad, a past Rural Week participant, understands the program’s impact. Dr. Conrad is also a family practice anesthetist based in Brandon, while also supporting Minnedosa, Neepawa and up in Northern Manitoba. He also supports ICU in Brandon and The Pas.

“My experience with Rural Week played a significant role in shaping my career. I clearly remember how welcoming the community was and how proudly they showcased the care and services they provide. That experience has stayed with me, and I’m proud to continue providing care in rural and northern Manitoba. Rural Week is an essential recruitment initiative—it’s about more than healthcare; it’s about the strength of our communities and the people who make them thrive.”

PMH extends sincere thanks to physician preceptors, healthcare professionals, and community volunteers whose dedication makes Rural Week possible. The program’s success reflects the commitment and hospitality of participating communities.

Rural Week was introduced in 2003 as an optional experience within the University of Manitoba’s first-year medical curriculum and became a mandatory component the following year.

Prairie Mountain Health Celebrates Physiotherapy Month

Prairie Mountain Health Celebrates Physiotherapy Month

May is Physiotherapy Month. Prairie Mountain Health (PMH) has physiotherapists that work across many sites in acute care, long term care, community and in outpatient clinics. Physiotherapists play an important role in our health care system to help clients recover after injury or surgery and support clients to have a good quality of life.

Person wearing a green collared shirt sits in a rehabilitation room with exercise balls and therapy equipment mounted on the wall behind them.
Jill Twordik is a physiotherapist that works in the Brandon Regional Health Centre.

Jill Twordik is a physiotherapist that works in the Brandon Regional Health Centre. She began working as a physiotherapist in 2004 and joined the health region in 2008. In her time working in PMH, Jill has worked in outpatients, in the prehab teaching program and in inpatients. She currently has been working on the inpatient rehabilitation floor helping clients to regain physical skills to be discharged from hospital. Jill has worked hard to mentor new staff and create a positive work culture within her team.

Outside of Jill’s work in the hospital, she leads a physiotherapy team within Operation Walk Manitoba. This Winnipeg-based team launched in 2011 and completed its first mission to Managua, Nicaragua in 2012. The organization includes a volunteer team of surgeons, nurses, physiotherapists and healthcare professionals who provide free joint replacement surgeries in developing countries where access to orthopedic care is limited.

The organization works in close partnership with the Roberto Calderon Hospital in Managua, a public teaching hospital offering joint replacement surgeries to impoverished clients. The team works closely with local surgeons, nurses and students to build skills, enhance care and leave a lasting impact long after each mission ends.

Jill has gone four times on a mission to Nicaragua, with the last mission being in November 2025. She describes a team of over 60 people who attend where each team member plays an important role in making care run smoothly for clients. She said on her last trip 70 joint replacements were done over three days. She described working 12-14 hour days, going back to the hotel and then getting up early the next day to do it all over again.

Three adults pose beside a hospital bed in a rehabilitation room. One adult sits on the bed while two stand nearby. A walker and other mobility aids are visible.

“Being part of a team that can do surgeries like this gives people back their lives” says Jill. “It fills my cup for the year. I can’t even describe the experience of going to help people that are so grateful for something they otherwise would not receive”. She describes seeing young patients receive joint surgeries following motor bike accidents or seeing patients recover after living with severe osteoarthritis related to a life of performing heavy, physical work. She describes seeing a strong family support culture in Nicaragua. “Families are very involved in caregiving following surgery and assume care often the same day of the surgery from the team. Communities band together to support individuals during their recovery” says Jill.

Each Operation Walk mission brings walkers, crutches and braces to provide to patients who may have to wait for surgery. The organization is 100% volunteer driven with every dollar donated supporting the mission directly. More information can be found at operationwalkmb.ca.

Prairie Mountain Health recognizes the good work Jill is doing both in her paid and volunteer roles. She brings her knowledge and worldly experiences back to clients share cares for in the region every day.

Each physiotherapist in PMH is a valued team member and each have stories to share about how they make a difference in lives of Manitobans every day.

Audiology Clinic Moves to the Brandon Regional Health Centre

Audiology Clinic Moves to the Brandon Regional Health Centre

May is Speech and Hearing Month. This year Prairie Mountain Health has supported Audiology to relocate and update their clinic space in Brandon, Manitoba.

As of April 2026, the Audiology Clinic in Brandon, Manitoba has moved from Town Centre (800 Rosser Avenue) to the Brandon Regional Health Centre  (BRHC; 150 McTavish Avenue East).

Pictured from left to right: Leanne Gardiner, Clinical Service Lead – Audiology, Jenna Foster – Audiology Assistant, Kristalshell Lauren – Administrative Secretary, Britney Watters – Audiologist, and Melanie Mus – Audiology Assistant.

The Audiology Clinic had been based in the Town Centre since the 1990s and was well established. Upon hearing the news there was space available at the BRHC, the Clinic started planning for the move in November 2025.

Planning for the transition was complex. There were two booths that required disassembly with panels weighing up to 300 lbs each. A specialty contractor was used to reassemble the booths on site. Diagnostic equipment had to be carefully packed and recalibrated once it moved over to the hospital. A reception area needed to be planned for to greet clients for their appointments. The new clinic space required demolition and renovation which was completed by an external contractor.

Coordination was required across multiple departments and teamwork made the project a reality. With support from Capital and Infrastructure, Materiels Management, Facility Engineering, Environmental Services and Therapy Services teams, the renovation, moving and unpacking process went smoothly.

On April 17, 2026, staff from Town Centre – A5 Public Health, gave a thoughtful farewell to the Audiology Clinic staff. A come and go cake and tea was organized where colleagues could come and say their farewells. This was very appreciated by the Audiology team.

On April 22, 2026, the Audiology Clinic began seeing clients in the new space. Public parking is available in the main front lot at BRHC or at nearby street meters. A designated drop-off and pick-up zone is located at the main hospital entrance loop. Once inside, follow the signage to the Assiniboine Centre reception desk to check in for your appointment. To check in for appointments, clients can check in at the Assiniboine Centre reception desk.

Leanne Gardiner, the Clinical Service Lead for Audiology, stated “The new clinic is updated and welcoming to our clients. We are happy to be at the Brandon Regional Health Centre for many years to come!”
