Strong connections through community boards

Community boards are a key part of Covenant Health's structure. These groups represent our Board of Directors in their communities, and ensure there is effective communication between the local communities and the provincial organization.

Community

Key roles of community boards:

Community Boards represent community health interests to the Covenant Health Board of Directors and communicate back to their community.

Community Boards are a valuable resource to help determine the future of Catholic health in key areas of need (palliative care, seniors' health, mental health and rural health).

The Covenant Health Board of Directors may also invite Community Board members

to serve on committees of the Board of Directors
to participate in provincial health task forces either led by or supported by Covenant Health. This participation provides the opportunity to help determine the future of Catholic health in key areas of need (palliative care, seniors, mental health, and rural health).

Community Boards are not responsible for the governance of Covenant Health programs or services, or the day-to-day management of programs/services.

Covenant Health would like to acknowledge that what we refer to as Alberta is the traditional ancestral territory of a diversity of Indigenous peoples and home to Treaty 6, 7, and 8. We honor the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika, the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland. We recognize and give thanks to the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, all who continue to grace these lands, and all future generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
