Hello renal patients and families, please allow me to introduce myself.

I am Alissa Leforte, Director of Health Services, Provincially Coordinated Health Services at Shared Health. Part of my portfolio is to serve the needs of renal patients in Manitoba – no matter where they live. I come to this new role with over 29 years’ experience in healthcare – living, working and traveling throughout Manitoba’s rural, remote and urban communities.

I have enjoyed the beauty of what Manitoba has to offer as well as endured the challenges of our geography. Whether your personal experience is as far North as Tadoule Lake or all the way to Lake Metigoshe, I am committed to providing quality patient care that is equitable and accessible for all Manitobans.

In my personal time, to keep my mind and body active, I love to be outdoors fishing, snowboarding, biking or golfing as well as sampling the many delicious recipes our renal dieticians suggest.

I look forward to serving you in my role as Director, Health Services. If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to share, please email kidneyhealth@sharedhealthmb.ca, Attention: Alissa.
