Riverside Foundation for Health Care is celebrating a significant legacy donation from a long-term supporter, as well as the huge impact it will have on health care in the District.
According to Foundation director Allison Cox, the Foundation was named in the estate of Olive Eisenhauer, who passed away last November. Olive and her late husband Ike were already celebrated at La Verendrye Hospital, having previously donated $50,000 across their lifetime. The Eisenhauers made a $25,000 during the Care Close to Home campaign, which in turn saw them receive naming rights to the chapel located inside the hospital. Their name still stands on a plaque outside the chapel, commemorating their charitable donation.

Supplied with 100 doses of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine, a team of provincial immunizers and volunteers spent hours working to vaccinate a steady lineup of newcomer, Indigenous and homeless community members at a one-day pop-up at Knox United Church in Winnipeg’s hot-spot central neighbourhood.

The lead of Manitoba’s vaccine rollout took questions and addressed concerns from newcomers to the province Thursday afternoon. We have seen some patterns emerging where, both in Winnipeg and southern Manitoba, there are some areas that have lower uptake, Dr. Joss Reimer said. And this is a blend of things. We think in southern Manitoba, a lot of it has to do with vaccine hesitancy, beliefs and community views on vaccines, but in Winnipeg, we think it has a lot more to do with barriers to seeking care.
