Mental health

Covenant Health is one of Alberta’s leading providers of mental health services.

Here’s how we do it:

We operate 250 beds in the province dedicated to serving those with mental illness.
We are a significant provider of care for seniors with dementia.
The Acute Inpatient Geriatric Psychiatry Program is located at Villa Caritas is the largest facility to provide inpatient acute care to a geriatric mental health population in Alberta.
All of Edmonton's community geriatric psychiatric programs have been consolidated under Covenant Health, under the Community Geriatric Psychiatry Program.
The Grey Nuns Community Hospital has two acute psychiatry inpatient units as well as one of only two psychiatric intensive care units in Edmonton. Outpatient services are also provided at this site.
The Misericordia Community Hospital has a 28 bed inpatient mental health unit and outpatient 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.
