Covenant Health Systems is a Catholic health care system that sponsors hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living residences and other health and elder services throughout New England. Committed to the health of the individuals and communities they serve, combined with a rich tradition, solid heritage and the pursuit of excellence, their covenant continues to provide patients with leading-edge clinical practices and passionate care, while demonstrating their belief in the value and dignity of each person. End-of-life goals include:

• To provide effective pain management and palliative care for each patient/resident within system facilities
• To be present with persons at the end of life, and alleviate pain and suffering in ways that are humanizing and compassionate
• To encourage and support modalities that address the needs of the whole person - body, mind, spirit
• To advocate, educate, and collaborate with others to improve end-of-life care within CHS facilities and communities
