Network of Excellence in Seniors’ Health and Wellness

Covenant Health created the Network of Excellence in Seniors’ Health and Wellness in 2013 to help build capacity across Alberta to better support seniors.  

Our focus is to:

• shape philosophies of seniors’ care
• advocate for seniors’ needs
• design, test and promote innovative approaches to meeting seniors’ needs

• led efforts to shape care across Covenant that honours seniors by:
  • collaborating with seniors, families and professional caregivers

  • identifying and sharing best care practices
  • supporting learning
• collaborated with individuals and groups to build a roadmap for better aging
