Saint Boniface General Hospital is a regional hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada that was founded by the Sisters of Charity of Montreal "Grey Nuns" in 1871. It was constructed at The Forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers and continues to exist on the same site. Originally, the hospital started with four beds but today it is the second largest hospital in Manitoba with 554 beds and 78 nursing bassinets.
The hospital is affiliated with the University of Manitoba's faculties of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
Saint Boniface is in the heart of the Saint Boniface neighborhood and serves the Franco-Manitoban population of the province by offering French language professionals.
