FORT WALTON BEACH — Covenant Hospice plans to expand into new areas, offering more care choices beyond traditional hospice services.
For more than 30 years, the not-for-profit organization has provided end-of-life care to Northwest Florida and South Alabama residents.
In addition to establishing and announcing Covenant Care, a group of integrated healthcare services, Covenant will launch a new brand and logo at 10 a.m. Jan. 12 from its administration office, located at 5041 N. 12th Ave. in Pensacola.
A brand launch event also is set for 10 a.m. Jan. 14 at Covenant Care's 220 Eglin Parkway NE, Fort Walton Beach, office.
With the addition of innovative programs and services comes the public launch of Covenant Care, a suite of complementary care options that include hospice, palliative, home care, Alzheimer’s services and specialized programs for children and families.
“As we make this landmark transition from Covenant Hospice to Covenant Care, and as we refresh our brand with a new logo, our promise — our covenant — remains the same: … to always seek out opportunities to improve access to high-quality care for anyone in need,” Jeff Mislevy, Covenant’s president and chief executive officer, said.
“As a not-for-profit, we possess the unique ability to re-invest in our community and along with our strategic partners, to fill gaps in healthcare and community resources, whatever those might be. As Covenant Care, we will have the opportunity to build on our exceptional legacy as a hospice provider, to expand our promise beyond end-of-life care and explore more diverse services along the continuum of care.”
Covenant Hospice, which annually serves more than 6,000 patients and their families, provides comprehensive, compassionate services to Crestview area patients and their loved ones, as they face the challenges of a serious illness.
In addition to traditional medical care delivered to patients, programs such as spiritual care, children’s support, volunteer services and bereavement care extend to the entire family and community at large.
