The Covenant Wellness Community — Lakewood has hundreds of co-designers.

And they all live in Mill Woods.

From day one, we knew this project had to be built WITH the community.

Here's how local residents shaped what's coming:

🗣️ Focus groups and engagement sessions to understand what people actually wanted in a community health centre.

👥 One-on-one conversations with community members about key amenities and services.

🎨 Community art projects where residents contributed their creativity and celebrated local community members.

🎉 Community celebrations bringing neighbours together to see the progress and connect with the project.

The result?

A wellness community that reflects the diversity, creativity and spirit of southeast Edmonton. 📍

Because the best health care happens when communities have a voice in creating it.

From foundation to finish, southeast Edmonton has watched something amazing take shape. 🏗️

This Labor Day, we celebrate the hands that turned our dream into reality. 🔨

The numbers tell the story:

🔵 175 peak workforce
🔵 1,800 safety orientations
🔵 547,836 staff hours (to July 31)
🔵 1 shared mission: health care, closer to home

But here's what the numbers don't capture. 👇

↳ The electrician who stayed late to perfect the lighting in the cardiac rehabilitation centre.

↳ The carpenter who took extra care with the accessibility features in the community geriatric mental health clinic.

↳ The staff who coordinated 1,800 orientations because safety always comes first.

Every hour worked. Every skill applied. Every safety protocol followed.

All leading to ONE incredible outcome. ⬇️

We built more than exam rooms and clinics...

We built space for the soul.

Opening this fall at the Community Health Centre: a dedicated multifaith room.

Our mission calls us to serve the community by caring for the whole person — body, mind and soul.

This room is our mission in action:

🟣Promotes inclusivity in healthcare environments
🟣Supports spiritual well-being during stressful times
️🟣A neutral space for people of any faith (or no faith)
🟣Designed for prayer, meditation and quiet reflection

Let's face it, health care can be overwhelming.

Sometimes you need a moment to breathe, center yourself and find peace.

That's exactly what this space provides.

Whether you pray, meditate or simply need five minutes of silence, this room welcomes you. 🧘

Do you think rooms like this should be standard in all healthcare facilities? 🤔

Celebrating summer side by side with our communities! ☀️

Mary Immaculate Care Centre was proud to take part in the vibrant summer parades in both Vegreville and Mundare, bringing joy, spirit and a strong sense of community to the festivities.

Our beautifully decorated van and handi bus rolled through the streets, showcasing our commitment to inclusion and connection.

Staff, residents, and volunteers came together to represent the heart of our care centre, waving to parade-goers and sharing smiles along the route. 👋

The handi bus, a symbol of accessibility and independence, was especially meaningful as it highlighted our dedication to supporting mobility and dignity for all.

We’re grateful to the organizers of both parades for welcoming us so warmly, and to everyone who cheered us on from the sidelines. 👏

Something beautiful is happening at the Community Health Centre...🖼️

The walls are coming alive with stunning artwork from talented local Edmonton artists, and we couldn't be more excited to share what's taking shape!

Art in health care environments does more than just beautify spaces.

Art can:

✅ Reduce patient anxiety and stress
✅ Promote emotional well-being and healing
✅ Create a more welcoming, calming atmosphere
✅ Support mental health for patients, families and staff

Our Community Health Centre opening this fall in southeast Edmonton was designed to be community focused from day one.

That's why we've partnered with local Edmonton artists to ensure every piece reflects the community we serve. 🤝

We can't wait to introduce you to these incredible artists and share the stories behind each piece.

Healin’ & Dealin’ Poker Run recap! 🏃‍♂️🃏

Today, participants laced up and hit the pavement for the 2025 Healin’ & Dealin’ Poker Run at the Grey Nuns Community Hospital! Participants walked or ran to five checkpoints, collecting cards to build their best poker hand.

🎉 The top 3 hands will win prizes, and the first 100 participants received gift cards.

💙 A big thank-you to everyone who brought food bank donations to earn an extra card and support our community.

🍪 And of course, treats at the finish line made it all sweeter.

Thank you to all the staff and volunteers that made today possible! 👏

Simulation saves lives — and builds confidence🚑

As clinics begin moving from the Grey Nuns hospital into the new Community Health Centre, our staff are engaging in simulation training to prepare for new environments and responsibilities.

In a recent code blue simulation, staff practiced providing care without a rapid response team, gaining experience in using the AED and supporting patients until EMS arrives.

These exercises ensure our teams feel confident, capable and ready to provide the highest level of care in any situation. 💡
