Acute care

The Banff Mineral Springs Acute Care Unit provides a mix of medicine and surgery services and consists of 22 beds with one palliative care room and one flexible palliative care room. There is also a two-bed, special care room for patients needing close observation.

Surgical procedures, both elective and urgent/emergent, are provided on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Elective surgery patients are processed through a pre-assessment clinic, also located on acute care. The clinic assesses the need for pre-anesthesia consults and provides pre- and post-operative teaching.

Family medicine physicians provide care to our admitted medical patients. Care is multidisciplinary in approach, supporting discharge goals upon admission.

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.
