Creating an authentic sense of home
In over 50 years as a nonprofit, public benefit organization we’ve made a continuous commitment grounded in our Episcopal heritage and values. We believe in helping individuals fortify their own well-being by building strong and engaging communities, connecting people with the services and relationships they need to thrive, and providing compassionate support.
Mission
Covia promotes positive aging by cultivating healthy and engaged communities with a continuum of innovative services that actively support intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being.
Vision
We will be widely known as a trusted resource for aging well.
Our name
Covia (pronounced co-VEE-a) is a name that emerged from deep consideration about who we are and what we stand for as an organization. The “co” of Covia comes from our belief in the importance of community, of connection, of companionship, of compassion. The “via” comes from two sources: both “via” – the path, and “vita” the Latin word for life. At Covia, we come together on the path of life. We hope you’ll join us on the journey.
