Our thoughts and prayers are with the patients, their families, and everyone impacted by this tragedy.

We thank our frontline healthcare teams for their ongoing dedication and response.

She found support during treatment. Now she helps other women find it.

Vasudha Tiwari was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. While she was in treatment, she kept making art and was shortlisted for the Art Ambassador of Alberta 2024 program.

During treatment she also connected with Healing Connections, our breast cancer support program at the Misericordia Community Hospital.

Today she’s a community partner, helping women in her community learn about breast health and the support available to them.

It started with his uncle’s advice. 💡

“You will always be able to put food on the table if you are a nurse.”

Ahmed Kermalli took it.

He joined Covenant Health as an LPN on a medicine ward in 2004, then went back to school for his nursing degree while still working.

22 years later, he’s an assistant head nurse in the emergency department at the Misericordia hospital.

As we wrap up Emergency Nurses Week make sure to check out Ahmed’s story!

Behind every successful surgery, safe patient interaction and sterile instrument is an incredible medical device reprocessing team.

Often operating behind the scenes, our MDR professionals are the foundation of safety and patient care.

They meticulously work with thousands of medical devices every single day to:

☑️ Clean
☑️ Inspect
☑️ Sterilize

Without their expertise, precision and dedication to strict safety standards, our health care system simply could not function.

It's Medical Device Reprocessing Week and we want to shine a spotlight on these hidden heroes!

Thank you to our MDR teams for working tirelessly around the clock to keep our patients safe and our frontline teams equipped. 🙌

Angus hadn’t told anyone at work that he’d written his nursing exam.

Then on his first day as an RN, a charge nurse congratulated him in front of the team.

"It meant a lot to know that I had the team in my corner," he says.

Angus first joined Covenant Health as an undergraduate nursing employee while he finished school.

Today he’s an advanced-trained RN in the emergency department at the Misericordia Community Hospital.

For the upcoming Patient and Family Centred Care Week, we're hosting two lunch-hour webinars on what changes when patients, residents and families are partners in care.

🟣Tuesday, Oct. 20 | Noon to 1 p.m.
Partnerships through feedback
A patient partner shares how lived experience gets gathered and turned into real improvements. You'll also hear the full story behind the Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre's new custom mural.

🟣Wednesday, Oct. 21 | Noon to 1 p.m.
Partnerships through innovation
Staff and family caregivers at Youville Home built family involvement training together, and it changed how families are seen on the unit: as essential partners in care. Then see how St. Therese Villa uses virtual reality to bring travel, music and games to residents.

Open to staff, physicians, volunteers, patients, residents, families and community members.

See you there! 👋

Melissa spent three years watching emergency nurses work from the unit clerk’s desk. Now she’s one of them. 👩‍⚕️

She went back to school after her dad was brought into the Misericordia emergency department in cardiac arrest.

Today she’s an LPN on that same unit, and she makes time for the small things: a warm blanket, fresh sheets, a few extra minutes in the room.

“Just being kind to them goes so far.”

Thank you to the emergency nurses across Covenant Health, for the quick decisions and for the extra few minutes in the room.
