This is Health Care Support Workers week in Manitoba.
Bruce Krentz, Health Promotion Coordinator with the Northern Health Region shares who those workers are.
“Health care support workers play a really vital role in ensuring the comfort, safety and wellbeing of patients and residents. What we are talking about when we say Manitoba health care support workers, it’s health care aides, dietary, housekeeping, maintenance, laundry, and some other essential support roles.”
Krentz said these workers help build the foundation of quality health care.
He added that during the pandemic many of the health care support workers were key in keeping the spread of COVID down in Northern Health Region facilities.
