Provena Covenant Medical Center makes upgrades with patients in mind

URBANA – It may never be fun to go to the hospital, but a Provena Covenant Medical Center Foundation official says there's no reason it can't be more pleasant.

With that in mind, the foundation has paid for nearly $1 million in recent improvements at Covenant, and is working to raise $1 million more for other upgrades, according to Dave Selzer, vice president of development and mission at Covenant.
