The Covenant family

The Covenant family contributes to the health and well-being of Albertans as three non-profit Catholic organizations rooted in an over 155-year legacy of compassionate care and service in the province. At the heart of Catholic health care is a profound respect for the intrinsic value and dignity of every human being and an unwavering commitment to serving all people — from all backgrounds, faiths and circumstances — especially society’s most vulnerable.

As sibling organizations, the three separate entities share the values and mission of the congregations of Sisters who helped establish health care in Alberta. As leaders and innovators in their fields, they contribute to a strategic plan to be of greater service and to transform the healthcare system and create vibrant communities of health and healing.
