Spiritual care

Our team offers spiritual care services to patients, residents and families, regardless of faith, background or tradition. We honour each person’s wishes and unique journey.

• help you explore meaning and purpose in life
• support you during grief and loss
• explore ethical concerns facing patients, residents and staff
• provide religious care (prayer, requests for sacraments or visits from faith leaders)
• help you explore your understanding of God or the Divine
• arrange a quiet space for you in the chapel

Indigenous care liaison services

The Indigenous care liaison supports Indigenous patients, residents and families at Bonnyville Health Centre.

They may:

• provide comfort
• provide and honour Indigenous traditions and ceremonies, such as smudging
• help ensure a spirit of hospitality for Indigenous persons
• provide opportunities for caregivers to understand culturally appropriate care and apply their learnings
• serve as a communication link between Covenant Health and the Indigenous community
