Organizations Filed Purposes: The mission of Covenant Community Care is to show and share the love of God, as seen in the good news of Jesus Christ, by providing integrated, affordable, and quality health care to those who need it most.

In 2019, Covenant served 15,097 medical patients through 44,537 visits across our six sites. Of these patients, 27% were without health insurance, creating great obstacles to healthy living and the management of chronic diseases. Our commitment to those most in need ensures that our percentage of uninsured patients remains substantial as we continue to grow. This can present a challenge as the sometimes transient and under-resourced characteristics of this group make medical compliance and follow-up, attainment of health goals, and access to services challenging goals. For this reason, we are always looking for new partners, like community mental health agencies and other social service organizations, and developing programs, such as our Homeless Outreach Team, to help us improve how we fulfill our mission.In 2019, Covenant's Centering Pregnancy (CP) Team helped 120 mothers deliver healthy babies and provide them with the tools they need to continue to be great parents. The CP model replaces traditional one-on-one prenatal visits with group visits and brings 12-18 women who are due at the same time together for care and support. Following prenatal check-ups, Covenant's team leads group sessions with topics such as signs and symptoms of pregnancy, back pain, relaxation & self-care, post-partum depression, domestic violence, labor, birth control, breast feeding, pediatric care, and diet.

Covenant Community Care offers oral health services at two clinical sites and through a mobile, school-based dental team. In 2019, we served 7,134 dental patients through 15,854 visits. According to Covenant's Chief Dental Officer Dr. Lynn Eickholt, Covenant clinics provide the same level of quality as private practice dentist offices. This approach to quality remains the same regardless of a patient's ability to pay for services. For example, Dr. Eickholt estimates that Covenant clinics are some of the only clinics in Detroit that are focused on preserving teeth despite the cost. Oftentimes, low-income Detroiters who do not have access to a community health center are not given options to save their teeth due to cost and must simply accept extractions, indicated by the fact that over 25% of Covenant's target population is dealing with six or more extractions. Covenant Michigan and Covenant Moross offer a full array of oral health services with state-of-the-art equipment including dental exams, x-rays, cleanings, fillings, sealants, root canals, extractions, crowns, fluoride treatments, scaling and root planning, dentures & partial dentures, and some orthodontics work.

Covenant Community Care's behavioral health counselors provided care to 2,643 patients through 7,109 visits, including substance abuse services, in 2019. Our primary medical and behavioral health care services are provided through an integrated delivery model. All medical providers receive training to ensure that they can effectively identify and successfully refer patients who need behavioral health consultations. The integration of behavioral health screenings into every patient encounter at Covenant improves service delivery and outcomes in several ways. By proactively screening our patients, we identify behavioral health needs earlier in their progression, allowing for early intervention by our Behavioral Health Counselors. We also believe that by making behavioral health screening a routine practice, it helps to remove the stigma often associated with receiving behavioral health services. Covenant opened the doors of its Recovery Center in 2017. The Recovery Center, an outpatient substance use treatment clinic, cared for 225 patients in 2019 and is housed inside our Michigan Ave Health Center. It offers a safe and loving space for outpatient substance use services, including addiction medicine, medication assisted treatment, individual counseling, weekly therapy groups, support groups and case management.
