Introducing our QCH Foundation Leadership Council

For Alan Whitten, supporting Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation is deeply personal — and a cause he has championed for many years.

Having raised his family and built his business in Kanata, Alan has long understood the vital role Queensway Carleton Hospital plays in our community. Over the years, he has supported the Foundation as a volunteer, board member, donor, advocate, and community leader, helping strengthen local healthcare for generations of families.

His connection to QCH is also rooted in family. All four of his grandchildren were born at the hospital, giving him a firsthand appreciation for the exceptional care provided every day.

“Joining the QCH Foundation Leadership Council was a natural decision for me because Queensway Carleton Hospital has been such an important part of my family’s story,” says Alan. “Serving as Chair is a meaningful way to give back and help ensure families in our community continue to have access to outstanding healthcare close to home.”

Alan’s leadership reflects a lifelong commitment to building a stronger community. Through his generosity, volunteerism, and unwavering support, he is helping shape the future of healthcare in our region and ensuring QCH can continue delivering exceptional care for generations.

Thank you, Alan, for your remarkable leadership, dedication, and philanthropy. Your impact is helping make a difference for patients and families today — and for years to come.
