The Sisters of St. Martha of Antigonish (Nova Scotia) opened St. Michael’s General Hospital in Lethrbidge on June 1, 1929.

In 1995, the facility transitioned to a new role of continuing care, and its name was changed to St. Michael’s Health Centre.

In October 2008, St. Michael’s Health Centre joined 16 other Catholic healthcare facilities in Alberta to form Covenant Health, Canada’s largest Catholic healthcare organization. Today, Covenant Health builds on the Sisters’ legacy of compassionate care and serves 12 communities across Alberta.
