A $1.9M investment to transform healthcare delivery for Banff and the Bow Valley
Covenant Foundation is raising funds for the Banff community wellness centre, a new integrated hub that will bring primary care, mental health and addictions support, visiting specialists and community services together in one welcoming space.
This $1.9M investment will transform local health care for Banff and Bow Valley residents, delivering vital care closer to home and reducing the need to travel outside the region.
Momentum for this project is already building, thanks to a generous $1 million lead gift from the Wim & Nancy Pauw Foundation. Covenant Foundation is now calling on the community to help raise the remaining funds to bring this transformational project to life.
The Banff community wellness centre will be an integrated hub bringing primary care, mental health and addictions support and system navigation together. It will also include:
PRIMARY CARE SERVICES
7 consult rooms designed to expand access to primary care
VISITING SPECIALISTS
bringing specialized care and expertise closer to the community
AN ADULT DAY PROGRAM
supporting residents with cognitive or dementia challenges while providing respite for caregivers
