It was the end of an era earlier this month when the Manitoba Health Auxiliaries Association (MHAA) held its annual convention for the final time. The decision was made to make the 70th event, which was held in Virden, the final provincial convention.

Elaine Friesen was the Treasurer of the MHAA, and is also President of the Altona Health Auxiliary, and she joined us this morning to talk about the decision to disband the provincial organization.

 

 

And we have to stress, like Elaine did, the disbanding of the MHAA has no baring on your local health auxiliary.

Elaine spoke about how the nearly two dozen active health auxiliaries across the province are doing amazing things for their respective hospitals and personal care homes.

 

 

And if you'd like to volunteer with your local health auxiliary, contact your nearest personal care home or hospital and they can provide contact information.
