The first QCH patient

The Monaghans of Fallowfield have had a long-standing connection to QCH. John Monaghan served on the hospital’s first board of directors in 1976, and his mother, Stella, was the first QCH patient. John tells his story in supporting fundraising efforts and advocating for the opening of QCH to serve Ottawa’s growing West End. John and his family have remained dedicated QCH donors and supporters over the years.

After suddenly losing his ability to walk, Nick Traversy came to QCH searching for answers. Less than three years later, he’s preparing to the run his second Ottawa Race Weekend 5k.🏃‍♂️💙

He spent months undergoing rehabilitation supported by physicians, nurses, volunteers and physiotherapists, who he says treated him with compassion and positivity every step of the way.

In support of QCH and the Canadian Transverse Myelitis Association, he’ll be running while wearing a custom jersey to raise awareness for transverse myelitis and others facing similar recoveries.

“The positivity that was born here really carried me through. And it still does.”

We’re proud to share Nick’s inspiring story of resilience, recovery, and advocacy. Read more on our blog: https://www.qchblog.com/50-stories-in-50-years/2026/5/11/story-26-from-a-hospital-bed-to-5k

Did you know that 65% of QCH inpatients are over the age of 65? That’s exactly why the Myers Automotive Acute Care of the Elderly (ACE) Unit was created to transform how seniors experience care at QCH.

Since opening on November 22, 2016, the ACE Unit has set a new standard for senior-focused care in the Ottawa region. In this video, Karen Carruthers, Continuous Performance Improvement Specialist and former Clinical Manager of ACE, shares insights into the unit’s development, including the need for specialized care, the research and planning behind a senior-friendly space, and the collaboration between clinical teams and architects.

Watch the full video and read the full story to learn how the ACE Unit is making a lasting impact on senior care at QCH: https://www.qchblog.com/50-stories-in-50-years/2026/4/2/story-22-opening-of-the-acute-care-of-the-elderly-ace-unit
