Spiritual Diversity Care

Do you know that the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg offered a quiet space in the hospital to meditate or just to think about things in whatever language or religion you choose. There is no discrimination here. It's the hope room. Sometimes patients and their families receive very bad health news from their doctors and need this time to clear their heads or connect to their source of strength. They can do so in a respectful way in the Hope Room.

This room is a sanctuary for Muslims in the hospitals wishing to observe their prayer times, a place for the Aboriginals to do their pipe ceremonies of healing, Christians to pray and meditate. This is a wonderful idea and a very useful place for people of all faiths and for those with no faith to connect to something when their spirits are at their lowest. The Director of the Centre is Patricia Frame and the phone number is 787-3884.
