We're thrilled to share the news of the merger between the Mary Immaculate Hospital Foundation and our Covenant Foundation. Effective April 1, 2024, all funds raised locally and designated to the Mary Immaculate Care Centre through the Covenant Foundation will stay local to help advance and innovate care for seniors and other continuing care residents at Covenant Health's facility in Mundare.

“Donor support is critical to better equipping our staff and providing the best care possible for our residents,” says Thomas Metlin, site administrator at the Mary Immaculate Care Centre. “The merger with Covenant Foundation is exciting because it will bring more opportunities for local and provincial partnerships to raise funds that go beyond the standard of care the government provides to make an even greater impact on continuing care in Mundare.”
Covenant Health's team at the 30-bed facility provides quality, compassionate care to residents, with services that include long-term and palliative care, occupational, physical and recreation therapy, a mental health adult day program, and spiritual care to residents and families regardless of faith, background or tradition. With the help of donors, community partners and the volunteer board, the Mary Immaculate Hospital Foundation’s legacy of philanthropic support includes investing nearly three-quarters of a million dollars since 2005 in enhancements at the site – from small items such as a television or chairs to large projects like the refurbished chapel, three-seasons room, state-of-the-art beds, and a minivan and 20-passenger bus.
"The Mary Immaculate Hospital Foundation and its volunteer board have done an outstanding job in raising funds since 2005 to transform Covenant Health’s long-term care in Mundare,” says Lisa Munro, President & CEO of the Covenant Foundation.“We are proud to continue their work with the community and build upon their legacy to help provide the best quality of life possible for long-term care residents in Mundare."
Since 2016, the Covenant Foundation has committed nearly $7 million to help drive health innovation, enhance specialized care and improve the quality of life for residents and their families at Covenant continuing care centres in rural and urban communities across Alberta.
“We’re excited to merge with the Covenant Foundation and for our community to benefit from the foundation’s greater capacity to increase awareness of fundraising and partnership opportunities that will make a tremendous difference for long-term care residents in Mundare,” says Sylvia Zacharkiw, Chair of the Mary Immaculate Hospital Foundation.
