The Health Sciences Centre is the largest hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It serves the residents of Northwest Ontario and Nunavut as both a teaching hospital and as a research centre. The Health Sciences Center is a tertiary care hospital, encompassing many different specialty medical services. The University of Manitoba has its Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry, as well as Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, located on the 32 acre (13 hectare) campus. The university's Faculty of Pharmacy is soon to locate to the campus as well.

The Health Sciences Centre was established in 1973 by the government of Manitoba. It combined the Winnipeg General Hospital, The Children's Hospital of Winnipeg, The Manitoba Rehabilitation Hospital and the D.A. Stewart Centre (Respiratory Hospital) into a campus with one administration. The Manitoba Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation (CancerCare Manitoba) also joined the campus.

The Health Sciences Centre employs around 6000 people. A few other health related institutions are located adjacent to the hospital. The Cadham Provincial Laboratory is located next door to the hospital and is the main research and investigative arm of the government of Manitoba for infectious disease. The Canadian Blood Services main building is located across the street from the hospital.

In 2000, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority took over the Health Sciences Centre as an operating division of the authority.

In 2006, HSC announced a hotel addition connected to the hospital. It would be first of its kind in Canada. The tower, built and operated by Manitoba's largest hotel chain Canad Inns, will open in 2008. Once complete, it will be one of the tallest buildings in Winnipeg rising 19 stories over the hospital. The hotel would sit immediately beside the $25-million Siemens Institute for Advanced Medicine, a project announced in June 2005, The 100,000-square-foot centre that will focus on neuroscience, infectious disease, advanced imaging and medical information. It's expected to house 300 researchers and staff and attract visiting physicians from across the country.
