Mission discernment

The heart of discernment is listening to the voice of the Spirit.

The Covenant Health Mission Discernment Tool is designed to help Covenant Health leaders make good decisions about major clinical, operational and administrative issues, in alignment with our mission and values.

The booklet provides context, triggers, the discernment process and key questions. The Mission Discernment Template allows leaders to enter responses into a Word document as they go through the discernment process.

For more information about the Mission Discernment Tool or to request coaching or facilitation, please contact Bonnie Tejada, Chief Mission & Ethics Officer, Mission, Ethics and Spirituality, at 780.220.4124 or mes@covenanthealth.ca.

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.
