After two months in our ICU fighting COVID-19, Khalid went home today. He won. The first thing he’s doing once home? Hugging his daughter. Khalid, we salute you. 💙

@QCHOttawa
Welcome to Queensway Carleton Hospital & Foundation. Ranked a top hospital in Canada by Newsweek and a top employer by Forbes.
- QCH has a new way to efficiently test for possible COVID-19 cases. A drive through in front of ED will minimize wait times for patients who have been directed by @OttawaHealth to come to hospital for screening for COVID-19 — and help keep Emergency for emergencies. #ottnews
- 2 days. 50+ people. 11 different services. 2750 patients seen. Thank you doesn't begin to cover it - this is collaboration at its finest! We couldn't do it without you. And a huge thank you to our community for their patience today! We're all in this together 💙
- Meet Kim, Irene and Robyn, Immunizers at our Vaccine Clinic - and all former QCH staff who came back out of retirement to help vaccinate our community. Collectively, they have over 100 years of nursing experience working at QCH! Thank you ladies for helping us keep Ottawa safe!
- Meet some of the ACE unit staff: skilled, caring healthcare professionals helping patients in isolation for respiratory illness. They have been unbelievable - adaptable, and committed to the care of their patients (they are standing 6ft apart, we promise!) Thank you team! 💙
- This morning our ED received a wonderful surprise: Ottawa's first responders drove through our ED, lights & sirens & horns blazing, showing their support for our staff. Positive, emotional, amazing. 🚨🚒🚔 Frontline workers supporting frontline workers. Thank you💙
- Hey Ottawa, It’s been one week since schools re-opened, and in one more week Ontario will further open up. People have asked us how QCH is holding up, so today we are providing a glimpse of the good, the bad, and the ugly. A snapshot of a day-in-the-life-of-QCH.🧵 1/14 #ottnews
- We have good news! Yesterday we celebrated the first time since March 13 to have no cases of COVID-19 at QCH. We liked it so much, we decided to celebrate it again today – making this the second day in a row. ICU & ACE (who saw most admitted patients) were happy to raise a cheer.
- Hey Ottawa, we’ve got news: QCH doesn’t have any active COVID-19 cases. We’re COVID-free! It’s great news – it's a good sign and a moment to celebrate, especially considering all the efforts of not only our team but everything you’ve been doing to stay safe. It’s working. (1/4)
- Meet Ralph Field, a patient admitted to our ICU three weeks ago for #COVID19. We are proud to say that this is Ralph’s COVID success story. After two weeks on a ventilator in our ICU, Ralph is home and healthy. “I won. I’m home.” From all of us at QCH – CONGRATULATIONS! 💙
- Good news: QCH has completed preparations for our COVID-19 vaccination clinic - and we're on standby to open it to support the regional vaccination rollout when supply is available: bit.ly/3klJaud
- Just opened 2-day drive-thru COVID test pop-up @CdnTireCtr. Today 12:30-6 pm, for those 2 years & older. BIG tks to paramedic partners @renctyparamedics, Cornwall, @DurhamParamedic, @HaliburtonMedic, Hastings Prince Edward, Kawartha, @LanarkMedic, @LGparamedics, Prescott-Russell
- Today @tomlinsongroup donated 1000 N95 masks to help all of our frontline workers. The smiles on the faces of our staff show how grateful we are for acts of kindness like this. 💙 Thanks Tomlinson!
- Our Cardiopulmonary team makes us feel like dancing! Something to brighten up your day on this snowy Wednesday 💙
