Help us keep QCH safe🌷As a scent-free hospital, strongly scented flowers such as Easter lilies are not permitted inside the hospital, as they can trigger severe allergic and anaphylactic reactions in patients, visitors and staff.

While we appreciate the thoughtful gesture, we kindly ask that you choose scent-free alternatives when visiting loved ones. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and comfortable environment for everyone.

Through our new ICU Insight series, we’re sharing the recovery stories of former ICU patients to shine a light on what happens after critical care and the journeys that follow.

In our first video, Penny Mapleton reflects on her path to recovery and expresses heartfelt gratitude to the ICU team whose compassionate care supported her every step of the way.

We’re thrilled to share a heartfelt message from Ottawa’s own Paul Anka in celebration of QCH’s 50th anniversary! 💜

Paul’s connection to our community runs deep. Back in 1973, a young Anka hosted a benefit concert for Queensway Carleton Hospital, raising $35,000 at a pivotal moment in our history.

This year, he shared his message at the Visionaries Breakfast—a true celebration of community, connection, and generosity. The breakfast brought in $435,650 this year alone, bringing its total impact to over $1.7M.

Generosity has always been at the heart of our story—and continues to drive the care we provide today.

The QCH Visionaries Breakfast was a true celebration of community, connection, and generosity. Marking Queensway Carleton Hospital’s 50th anniversary, we were reminded of the incredible things possible when people come together with a shared purpose—honouring the past and looking forward to ensure exceptional care for years to come.

To all of our amazing donors, sponsors, and volunteers: thank you. Your generosity, time, and unwavering support made this event a tremendous success. Together, we raised an incredible $435,650 to fund life-saving medical devices and equipment—bringing the total impact of the Visionaries Breakfast to over $1.7M.

You are making a real difference for care close to home. 💜

A special thank you to Caroline Phillips – Caroline in the Capital – for beautifully capturing the spirit and unforgettable moments of the morning.
