40th Anniversary Reflections

In honor of Health Equity International/St. Boniface Hospital’s 40th anniversary several of our staff, patients, and partners generously shared their reflections on the organization’s impact.

We’ll be releasing a new video each day on our social media channels, so be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. We’ll also be posting each video here—to watch, simply click on each person’s name!

We also want to hear from you! Click here to submit your reflections on your experience with HEI/SBH. These could be memories and/or photos from a time you visited Fond des Blancs, attended a gala, or any other thoughts you’re willing to share. We’ll be gathering these reflections and posting them on a special anniversary page for all to see.
