About Covenant:

Covenant was recently recognized as a recipient of AHA's Circle of Life Citation of Honor Award for innovation in end-of-life care. Covenant Hospice is a not-for-profit organization that has achieved 13.1% in employee turnover, 98.8% in physician satisfaction, 100% in patient satisfaction, and 99.3% of the families served by Covenant would recommend hospice services to others. Covenant's mission is to provide comprehensive, compassionate services to patients and their loved ones during times of life-limiting illnesses.

Since dying is a part of the normal process of life, the focus of Covenant Hospice is to enable patients to live as fully and comfortably as possible, to provide dignified palliative care, to assist patients' loved ones in coping with end-of-life issues and the eventual death of their loved one, and to improve care for all patients at the end of their lives by example and education.

Covenant Hospice exists in the hope and belief that through appropriate care, education, and the promotion of a supportive community sensitive to the needs of the persons facing the end of life, patients and their loved ones may be able to obtain physical, mental, and spiritual preparation for the end of life, bereavement, and renewal.
