About
Your contribution to Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) Foundation is an investment in advanced patient care and healthcare excellence. Families and loved ones are benefiting from exceptional care close to home.
Located in fast-growing west Ottawa, QCH has built its reputation as a leading acute care hospital by seeing the person in each of the nearly 500,000 people who turn to it for care each year. QCH’s agility and collaborative culture enable it to respond quickly to our community’s most pressing healthcare challenges through advanced programs that reinvent models of patient care.
Donations to QCH Foundation help support our hospital’s core programs and services including surgery, emergency care, critical care, medical services, childbirth, geriatric care , acute rehabilitation services, and mental healthcare.
Our Impact
Since the doors of QCH opened in 1976, outstanding support from thousands of caring donors has helped transform healthcare for our community. These contributions have made possible significant additions and improvements to almost every area of the hospital, more than doubling the footprint of the original buildings. More modern, comfortable, spacious facilities improve patient outcomes, and the entire patient experience from the moment a patient walks through our doors.
Facility upgrades have allowed QCH to expand programs and services to meet the healthcare needs of our rapidly growing and changing community. Originally built to serve a population of about 100,000, QCH now serves more than 500,000 west-Ottawa residents.
With up-to-date equipment and modern facilities, QCH has been able to attract and retain the compassionate, expert medical talent for which we are known. These professionals are a tremendous asset to our hospital, our patients, and our entire community.
Every gift makes a difference.
