What is a Faith-Based Organization?
In the Province of Manitoba, a faith-based healthcare facility is a publicly funded facility which is owned and sponsored by a faith community. As a publicly funded facility, we have an obligation to provide health care which meets or exceeds government and professional standards. As a facility which is sponsored by the Mennonite community, we have an obligation to provide care in a manner that is consistent with and expressive of Mennonite values and ethics. This means our programs and services are available to everyone regardless of culture, practices, or beliefs and we may establish policies, set goals and evaluate programs in light of a particular set of values which is deeply rooted in our Christian faith and Mennonite heritage. In all that we do, we strive to follow the example of Christ who healed the sick, comforted the sorrowful and welcomed the outcast. The Eden organization was founded by the Mennonite Churches of Manitoba in the mid 1960’s as an expression of Christ’s love and compassion to all of God’s children. Over time, other faith communities have joined the organization, strengthening the expression of Christian love in the area of mental health.
