Caller: (204) 788-8588 I’ve blocked it and still get repeated calls. Says it’s my area code. I have never answered it and from the look of the complaint comments above, I sure won’t. So glad I had call display.

This number has called me several times. I have never been to the hospital nor have I been out if the state I live in. How can we stop these calls. I blocked them and they still call at all hours. I was woke up at midnight from this number. Most annoying person on earth. STOP CALLING ME!

It makes sense that it would be someone from the hospital. I walked out of Misericordia Urgent Care thurs. morning.
sarah
this person will not stop calling and she asked for me and then would not say who she is
Tamara
Yes and it's a huge fine if they break this rule. Up to 50,000

This number is a government number mainly used for The Winnipeg regional health Authority, if you leave an emergency room without being seen. They will call for up to 24/hrs to see if you are OK and have sought other medical care for the reason you were at emergency. because of PHIA (personal Health Information Act) they are not aloud to say anything to anyone, Unless it is the patient there calling for.You may say you're that person, and you will find out the info.The number is also used for other health/GVMT related services connected to WRHA, Such as Well being checks, health links call back if you are disconnected, or to check at a later date how you are, person in hospital making a call, a nurse reminding of appointment, the after hours social services relay program, and Probation's Manitoba. They are not allowed to say who they are, as this would violate PHIA, as that person whom attended emergency might not want anyone to know they were there.(As in a personal/private matter) I call the hospital, or all of them to see if theirs someone I know in there, worked once when a friend was in emergency, and attempting to call, they can't leave messages for the above reasons as well.... To protect the patient I guess. But if the patient asks for a nurse to call and let's it be known there in a hospital this number will also be used, and the Hosp. can relay the message, and give the info, that the patient is in care at that hospital. Also included Urgent Care centers.

Yes, used for all Winnipeg, and Brandon hospitals a WRHA number with many uses. As if someone calls from a hospital, you leave emerg, with out being seen, they call, but can only talk to the patient as its the law of the Personal health Information act. (PHIA). Some people don't want others to know there in emerge or urgent Care for personal reasons, same reason a message can't be left. Also If you are a patient, use one of the emerg. phones to call someone this # will also appear, but can not be called back.
