    At both Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface Hospital, you’ll encounter a wide range of hematological cases, including:

    • Bone marrow aspirates and biopsies
    • Peripheral blood films
    • Lymph nodes
    • Hemoglobin studies
    • Immunopathology (flow cytometry and autoimmune testing)

    Located across from Health Sciences Centre, Canadian Blood Services supports transfusion medicine testing for most hospitals in Manitoba, including the fast-paced blood banks at Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface Hospital.
