The organization is governed by a board of directors that consists of 11 individuals, who are appointed by, and accountable to, the Catholic Bishops of Alberta,[3] which itself includes 5 Latin bishops and 1 Ukrainian Catholic bishop.[4] The board has been chaired by former Alberta premier Ed Stelmach since 2016.[5]
According to Covenant Health, it is one of the largest Catholic health care providers in Canada,[6] employing over 11,000 staff, physicians and volunteers in 16 facilities in 11 communities across Alberta in cooperation with Alberta Health Services.[1] Services provided include acute care, continuing care, assisted living, hospice, rehabilitation, ambulance services, respite care, and seniors' housing.
On 17 August 2024, Premier Danielle Smith announced that one of the changes to Alberta health care, as part of the restructuring process, would be to turn hospitals currently operated by Alberta Health Services, over to providers such as Covenant Health.[7]
