Beaumont Partners with Covenant Health on Facility Study

The City of Beaumont and Covenant Health are conducting a study to determine the feasibility of a health facility in the community. 

The study builds off results of the City’s health needs assessment in 2024 and will determine potential services and models of care to meet the requirements for Beaumont’s growing population. 

“Council recently toured the Covenant Wellness Community in south Edmonton and we were impressed with their approach to creating a one-stop wellness hub with integrated health and social supports tailored to the needs of the people in the community,” Mayor Bill Daneluik. “Our partnership with Covenant Health will explore opportunities for a similar approach in Beaumont that reflects the health service needs of our population and reflects our commitment to the wellness of the community.” 

The study is being completed with support from the Government of Alberta and is aligned with their broader work to transform health care, particularly expanding community-based care and reducing pressures on acute care systems. Results from the study, to be completed by this fall, will be shared with the provincial government for consideration in its capital planning. 

Partnering with health organizations and advocacy to the Alberta government are recommendations from the community health needs assessment completed last year following extensive consultation with health-care providers, residents, and Alberta Health Services. Other actions arising from the assessment include the online health and social services directory and Beaumont’s primary care support grant.
