WHY WE NEED YOU
Critical Care for Our Community
Queensway Carleton Hospital provides care to 50% of the population of the City of Ottawa.
When seconds count, it’s time to invest significant resources into QCH to ensure the 500,000 residents who turn to the hospital for care have access to the very best treatment options.
As west Ottawa’s only full-service hospital, QCH serves one of the fastest growing and aging hospital catchment areas in the country and regularly operates at or beyond capacity.
When QCH opened its doors in 1976 it was built for a population of close to 100,000. Today, our Emergency Department is stretched to the limit with more than 80,000 visits each year. That number is expected to top 100,000 visits by 2028-29.
QCH has one of the busiest Emergency Departments in the province.
We are planning for the future of healthcare in our community with a major expansion of the hospital. We will be more than doubling the size of the ED, adding 90 new inpatient beds and building a new Urgent Care Clinic on the grounds of QCH.
These investments are a critical part of QCH Foundation’s ongoing commitment to projects that help reduce wait times, enhance patient care and assist the hospital in recruiting and retaining top talent.
Our loved ones deserve access to the very best care, close to home.
