Community IV Program Consolidation at Misericordia Health Centre
While serving as Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority’s Home Care Program, Audrey Gordon led the consolidation of the Community Intravenous Program (CIVP) to a centralized location at Misericordia Health Centre (MHC).
This move united infectious disease specialists, nurses, pharmacists, and administrative teams under one roof—streamlining operations, enhancing collaboration, and improving the client experience. The new model also leveraged on-site diagnostics and lab services to reduce emergency and urgent care visits.
The redesigned location offered expanded treatment space, including private exam and isolation rooms, improved accessibility through better transit and parking options, and closer proximity to major referral sources such as HSC Winnipeg and St. Boniface Hospital.

FINISHED First Nation Community-Based Kidney Screening
Point of care screening utilized innovative technology to perform kidney disease screening that targeted at-risk populations based on the Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) for adults. This type of screening had never occurred in Manitoba. This project provided access to care, four communities screened were remote (accessible only by air most of the year), while seven were accessible by road. A mean screening rate of 21% of all community members eligible (10-80) was achieved. Intermediate and high risk patients received Nephrology referral, and a new risk-assessment algorithm was designed in collaboration with pediatric nephrologists and endocrinologist partners. Manitoba now has a baseline on which to expand and improve upon in order to reduce the rates of dialysis and end stage kidney disease in the province.
