The St. Boniface Hospital Internal Medicine program has become aware of a breakdown in its process for booking of consults received through fax number 204−233−7154. Consults for General Internal Medicine, General Endocrinology, and General GI were affected. This intermittent issue affected some of the consults that were sent between November 12, 2024, and February 13^th, 2025.

The program has resolved many of the missing consults as they became aware of them, however, the hospital anticipates there are likely still some faxed consults that are still missing.

What should you do? If you have sent a fax to one of the affected services between Nov 12 and Feb 13, and you have not seen evidence that the consult has been accepted or scheduled, you should resubmit it. Even if your fax machine received an automated fax receipt confirmation, the fax print out may still be missing at St. Boniface. 

• Resubmit a potentially missing consult by re-faxing it to 204−233−7154. Clearly mark it ​“RESUBMISSION” with the original fax date. 

• You can also call with questions by phoning 204−235−3380.

• Referrals will be prioritized based on the original date and urgency of the request.
