Spiritual health is as important as our physical and mental health to our well-being. It can help us achieve peace and find hope and comfort — especially in the hardest medical times when we’re at our most vulnerable.

Indigenous Care

We have committed to ongoing learning and dialogue to improve our relationship with the Indigenous community. With our partners, we support Covenant’s work towards addressing the relevant health sector Calls to Action under the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report, including cultural awareness training, promotion of Indigenous healing practices, and recruitment and retention of Indigenous members to its workforce. Together with donors, we uplift the Indigenous community through investments in initiatives such as the Indigenous Healing Garden at the Misericordia Hospital to enhance holistic care for Indigenous patients and families, and a mobile simulation project for rural communities that include programming specific to increasing equity in care for Indigenous community members.

Multi-Faith Spiritual Care

Your generosity can help ensure multi-faith spiritual care for thousands of patients, residents and families every year. This includes funding bereavement support for families, end-of-life care for patients, and onsite worship spaces and supplies for spiritual services, care and rituals such as prayers, smudges, sacraments and visits from diverse faith leaders and volunteers.
