A first
for Manitoba is the Misericordia Health Centre's Health Links Program,
which is an innovative province-wide telephone health information service,
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Specially skilled Registered
Nurses offer health information and support to those in need and may help
the caller decide if they need further direct health help like the Urgent
Care Centre or an Emergency Department.
The Health Links help line phone number is 788-8200
or toll free province-wide at 1-888-315-9257
Your doctor’s office is closed and you’re not sure how to handle a
non-emergent situation.*
You need information about a medication you’re taking and your pharmacist
isn’t available.
A loved one is diagnosed with an illness and you have questions.
Anytime you have a health-related concern...
Our registered nurses and referral specialists can:
- Help evaluate current symptoms and determine, if necessary, how quickly
to access medical care.
- Provide home care advice to ease your symptoms.
- Answer your health care questions.
*Remember, Health Links is not a resource for medical emergencies. In case
of a medical emergency, call 911.

Health Links is a confidential, free health information and referral
service for the public staffed by Registered Nurses 24 hours a day.
The nurses ask a series of questions about the concern and then direct
callers to the level of medical care appropriate for the symptoms.
They use an approved computerized program and document each call.
Because they have to document each call for legal reasons
they will ask for your name, address, telephone number and
birthdate.
This information is confidential and never used outside of the Health
Links department.
