Letter to the Community
Dear Covenant Health community,
At Covenant, our mission has
always been to care for the people
of our community — in every
season of life. As we move into
the summer months, I'm proud to
share a few important updates that
reflect the strength, compassion,
and commitment of our teams.
First, we are excited to announce
the launch of our new kidney
transplant program. This service
has been years in the making and will allow patients to stay closer
to home for advanced, life-changing care. It's a major step forward
for our region and an example of how we continue to expand access
to the highest level of treatment.
We are also proud to share that our nurses at Covenant Medical

Kidney transplant program
CMC honored again with
Magnet recognition
Nursing student returns
after brain tumor treatment
Summer safety
Center have earned Magnet re-designation, with five exemplars recognized during the review process.
This honor is one of the highest in nursing excellence and speaks to the skill, leadership, and heart our
caregivers bring to their work each day.
One story that stands out this month is that of a nursing student who faced a life-changing diagnosis —
a brain tumor — discovered while she was studying to join the profession. After receiving treatment at
Covenant, she returned not just to finish her education, but to work alongside the very team that cared
for her. Her journey is a powerful example of resilience, community, and hope.
We recently launched a new podcast focused on women's health topics - Health Her Way. The
podcast is hosted by women, featuring women providers and specialists, for women. Give
it a listen and make sure you subscribe for all the latest episodes. You can find the show
wherever you get your podcasts.
Finally, we are sharing a few important summer safety reminders in this issue.
Simple steps can help prevent accidents and illnesses and keep your family
healthy and active through the season.
Thank you for trusting Covenant with your care. We are honored to serve you
and your family, and we look forward to all we will accomplish together.
