Case Studies

Caritas Health Group

Caritas Health Group, Alberta's largest faith-based provider of health care, has a history that spans more than 100 years. Drawing on this rich legacy of holistic and compassionate service, Caritas extends care to people of all faiths and traditions.

Caritas takes its mission (Healing the Body - Enriching the Mind - Nurturing the Soul) very seriously. Reviewing their website in early 2005, they felt that it was not living up to this important ideal, so they approached Redengine for a redesign. Caritas wanted their site to reflect their focus on the whole person, and not simply their medical services. As you can imagine, injecting compassion and 'humanity' into a highly technical medium like the web was a unique challenge.

Redengine worked with a talented team of service providers to address this unusual problem. Bringing together a variety of disciplines, such as information architecture, visual design, professional writing, and systems integration, we collectively addressed the puzzle of how to enrich mind, body, and soul with a website. The process included end-user consultation, a content re-write, and integration of a content management system that allows Caritas to easily maintain the site.

We don't claim to be miracle workers, but we're pretty proud of what our trio of companies was able to put together. The Caritas commitment to care of the whole person is now palpable whether you are researching job opportunities, looking up benefit information, or seeking details on a particular hospital. The site has been brought to life and the visionary team at Caritas, along with those they serve, could not be happier. Go to www.caritas.ab.ca.
