🎉 Join us in celebrating our recent Champion of Care recipients — the Emergency Department volunteers at QCH! 🎉

A community member shared just how much these incredible volunteers mean to patients and their families. From helping people find their way, to checking in on those sitting alone, to offering kind words during long waits — their compassion, patience, and dedication make a real difference every single day. ❤️

These volunteers go above and beyond to bring comfort and support to everyone at QCH. Their kindness, generosity, and care truly deserve to be celebrated! ✨

Story 20 of 50: The Birth of the Childbirth Program

Dr. Lisa Rosenkrantz takes us on a tour of QCH's Childbirth Unit. When the Grace Hospital closed in 1999, their Birth Unit found a new home at QCH, where the QCH Childbirth Program opened later that same year. While Grace’s culture continues, QCH has built its own strong legacy in maternity care.

We had a fluffy visit from the Canadian Veteran Service Dog Unit, as they conducted training with some new recruits.

What is social work at QCH?

Social workers are regulated health professionals who work with clients, individuals, families, groups and communities to improve individual and collective well-being. They often work in interdisciplinary teams to provide services, share resources, improve conditions and create opportunities for growth, recovery and personal development.

QCH, the team plays many vital roles and are responsible for various things throughout a patient’s time in the hospital, including:
- Discharge planning and resource planning
- Crisis intervention
- Patient and family advocacy
- Short-term counselling
- System navigation
- Support with death, dying, and critical illness
- Assessment and support with child protection concerns and violence at home
and much more!

Thank you to all our social workers and support staff for everything that you do. Happy Social Work Week!

“Operation Evening Star” kicked off on September 13, 1990, with simulated disasters including a train derailment with 107 mock casualties and an explosion at the Carp arena. Story 19 of 50 in the countdown to our 50th anniversary.

These regional drills were designed to test the emergency preparedness of local fire, police, paramedic, and hospital teams. As part of emergency management, QCH staff has participated in multiple high-pressure mock scenarios, including a fire in the QCH kitchen, bomb threat simulations, and full hospital evacuations. These drills were opportunities to review hospital policies and procedures while ensuring emergency preparedness.
