The HSC Foundation has launched a bold six-year plan to elevate health care in pursuit of our vision of delivering tomorrow's health care, today. While this plan will help address the current provincial wait list, the vision goes far beyond helping to address the challenges of today.
Operation Excellence is a $100 million plan that will pay dividends for generations of Manitobans, and revitalize and refocus HSC as a surgical centre of excellence and innovation. Your support will make it possible.

The plan comprises three phases. Each stage will create more capacity for diagnostic and surgical cases, using the latest imaging technology and the latest equipment for minimally invasive surgical procedures.

The goals are:

An immediate impact on the diagnostic and surgical wait list

Better patient outcomes

Shorter hospital stays through the use of minimally invasive procedures that require shorter recovery periods

More efficient systems for surgical referrals and wait list management through advanced software

Creating the conditions for HSC to always embrace the next innovations in surgical care

Firmly establishing HSC as an employer of choice for leading surgeons and other medical professionals

Genital and anal injury in women after sexual assault: prevalence rates and associated risk factors in 294 cases

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.title
Genital and anal injury in women after sexual assault: prevalence rates and associated risk factors in 294 cases - International Journal of Legal Medicine

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Objectives To investigate the prevalence of, and risk factors for, genito-anal injury in females who attended a Sexual Assault Treatment Unit in a capital city following sexual assault. Design Cross-sectional study. Method All females who underwent a genital and/or anal forensic examination between 1/1/2023 and 31/12/2023 were included. A standardised dataset of demographic and assault metrics was collated. Genito-anal injury data was contemporaneously collected by forensically trained specialist doctors and nurses using prescribed definitions and a standardised tool. Descriptive bivariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed on these data. Statistical significance was defined as a p-value < 0.05. Results During the study period, 405 women accessed this SATU service of whom 294 (72.6%) underwent a forensic examination that included a genital and/or anal examination. The overall prevalence of genito-anal injury was 25.9% (n = 76/294), with those who reported completed vaginal penetration having a genito-anal injury prevalence rate of 31.1% (n = 65/209). Anal injury was observed in 20% (n = 8/40) of those who reported completed anal penetration. The most commonly injured genital site was the posterior fourchette (n = 29) followed by the fossa navicularis (n = 24) and the labia minora (n = 23), with the most common injury type being a laceration (n = 81) followed by an abrasion (n = 37). Genito-anal injury was significantly more likely to be present in women who disclosed a mental health history (OR1.94 CI1.11-3.39 p = 0.01), were certain that a sexual assault had taken place (OR2.91 CI1.31-6.45 p = 0.008), who disclosed genital bleeding after the incident (OR2.35 CI1.25-4.42 p = 0.007) and had extra-genital injuries (2.20 (1.27–3.80) p < 0.004). Absense of previous sexual activity (p = 0.39), menopausal status (p = 0.09), age (p = 0.64), assailant-survivor relationship (p = 0.07) or incident location (p = 0.17) did not have a significant association on the presence of genito-anal injury. Extra-genital/bodily injury was present in 53% (n = 156) of women who attended. Conclusion This study demonstrates the prevalence and patterns of genital and anal injuries in women presenting to a single unit following sexual assault, and provides valuable insights into the nature and extent of harm experienced by survivors when consistent data collection tools are used. The study also highlights how frequently injury is absent, even when penetration is disclosed. These findings contribute to the body of evidence guiding forensic examination protocols and care strategies, as well as to the evidence base considered during detection and prosecution of sexual crime.

Rehabilitation is more than just finding a job, home, school, or a place to meet people. It is helping people to recover or discover meaningful roles in life. Rehabilitation staff work with individuals to select a place to live, learn, work or socialize from the broadest range of possibilities based on personal preferences, interests and skills. The person has an opportunity to develop wellness plans, gain self-awareness and insight about recovery, learn how to problem solve an issue before a crisis develops, and respond to and manage stress. The development of the right skills, resources and supports are important once the person begins their new role so they can achieve success in it. How can I enroll in the Rehabilitation and Recovery Service at CMHA Thompson?

Any person interested in the Rehabilitation and Recovery Service would need to be referred by a Community Mental Health Worker from the Northern Regional Health Authority. Self-referrals are also accepted.

Care of the Adolescent After an Acute Sexual Assault

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Sexual violence is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of sexual victimizations. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics published its last policy statement on sexual assault in 2008, additional information and data have emerged about sexual violence affecting adolescents and the treatment and management of the adolescent who has been a victim of sexual assault. This report provides new information to update physicians and focuses on the acute assessment and care of adolescent victims who have experienced a recent sexual assault. Follow-up of the acute assault, as well as prevention of sexual assault, are also discussed.
