Ways to Give

As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, separate from Covenant Health, Covenant Foundation reaches out to the community to secure funding for projects that assist the hospital. We strive to carry on the successful legacies of the St. Mary of the Plains Hospital Foundation and the Lubbock Methodist Hospital Foundation, two organizations that merged in 1998.

For Community

Part of Covenant Health’s mission is to ensure that everyone in our community has access to quality health care and health education. To do this, we offer educational classes, events and volunteer opportunities for the entire community.
