Manitoba Health helps pay the cost of telecommunications devices

Manitoba Health will provide financial assistance for the purchase of telecommunications devices for anyone with a profound hearing loss or speech impairment who would benefit from having this equipment.  This assistance applies to devices such as TTYs, iPhones, Blackberrys, iPads and similar devices as long as they can be used by the individual for the purpose of communication such as texting.  Computers may be included in the program in the future.  For more information on this program click this link:  https://www.gov.mb.ca/health/mhsip/ or contact Rebecca at Manitoba Health at 786-7365.
