They keep us organized, on track and supported in more ways than we can even explain. 📝

It's Administrative Professionals Day and we’re celebrating the incredible people behind the scenes who help keep our sites running smoothly.

Like sisters Trisha and Sam Semotiuk at the Misericordia Community Hospital. 👏

Trisha supports the site administration team while Sam works in diagnostic imaging.

Their shared commitment to care and collaboration is just one example of the vital role administrative professionals play at our sites across Alberta.

Thank you to Trisha, Sam and all the amazing admin pros across Covenant Health!

Small actions can make a world of difference. 🌍

In celebration of Earth Day, teams across Covenant Health rolled up their sleeves to clean up and care for the land around our sites.

Special thanks to all the dedicated staff, including those at the Misericordia Community Hospital, who stepped up to lead by example to show just how much pride they take in the spaces where they work, heal and serve. 💙

Over 65% of UN member countries have a national aging strategy—but Canada still doesn’t.

With election day around the corner, it’s time to advocate for a national aging strategy that integrates services, ensures accessible and affordable housing and strengthens financial security for older adults.

Let’s build a future where every Canadian feels valued and supported.

A humble servant of peace, compassion and dignity has left us.

This morning, we join people around the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis, a faithful servant of God and the worldwide church whose life was marked by compassion, humility and a deep commitment to justice and mercy.

As a Catholic health organization, we give thanks for his life and leadership. He reminded the world — and each of us — of the dignity of every person, the importance of caring for the most vulnerable, and the power of humility and love to bring about change.

His visit to Alberta and Canada in 2022 was a profoundly moving moment — one that touched the hearts of many in our communities.

His apology to Indigenous Peoples and his call for truth, healing and reconciliation left a lasting impact on our province, and on all of us who strive to live out those values in our daily work.

We hold him in prayer and honour his memory by continuing the work he so deeply believed in.

May he rest in peace. 🕊️

Every basket is a reminder that someone cares. 🐰

Our incredible volunteers at the Misericordia Community Hospital came together to bring comfort and care to patients this Easter.

In just a few weeks, Canadians will cast their votes. It's important that those seeking our support place the needs of our aging population at the forefront of their priorities.

Developing a comprehensive aging strategy isn't just about responding to today's needs—it's about preparing for the future.

It is a crucial moment for policymakers, organizations and communities to come together and take action by advocating for a national aging strategy.

One unit. Countless lives changed.

In the first half of 2024, the Intensive Care Unit at the Grey Nuns Community Hospital achieved something remarkable...

✅ Every single patient who was eligible for organ donation was referred to the Human Organ Procurement and Exchange Program (HOPE).

✅ Every family was approached.

✅ Every family said yes.

✅ And every one of those patients became an organ donor.

It's the first time any site in Alberta has reached a 100% conversion rate since the launch of the Specialist in End-of-Life Care, Neuroprognostication and Donation (SEND) program in 2021!

Thanks to the compassionate care and dedication of Unit 24, 29 organs were successfully transplanted. 🫀

These gifts of life brought hope, healing and a second chance to people waiting for a transplant.

We are incredibly proud of this milestone and thankful to the patients and families whose generosity made it possible. 👏

Skin tears might seem minor, but they have a huge impact on patients' lives. 💡

Today, the Grey Nuns Community Hospital proudly hosted our very first pop-up event in recognition of A World Without Skin Tears Day. 🩹

Skin tears are often overlooked yet significantly impact the well-being of many, especially our seniors.

Did you know that by 2046, one in five Albertans will be aged 65 or older, making skin tear prevention more crucial than ever? 🤔

Participants experienced hands-on learning with groundbreaking polymer skin tear models from the UK, realistically demonstrating skin tear flaps and practical dressing application and removal.

These innovative models, made with sustainable biopolymer materials, provide realistic training scenarios that enhance healthcare professionals' skills and confidence in wound management.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for supporting this essential cause. 👏

At St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose, orange shirts hold deep meaning. 🧡

Originally chosen as part of the site's 100th anniversary initiatives, they represent a commitment to raising awareness of the inter-generational impacts of residential schools.

Staff and volunteers continue to wear these shirts as a symbol of reflection and respect for the cultures, histories and traditions of Indigenous Peoples across the country and in their care.

🟣Physical and mental well-being
🟣Strong community connections

It's about ensuring that everyone can age with dignity, comfort and joy in the spaces they cherish most.
