When our families and friends turn to QCH for care, they have access to the best treatment options available, and that's thanks in part to the incredible generosity of our community.
Tens of thousands of patients rely on Queensway Carleton Hospital's surgical services every year, from simple diagnostic procedures to life-saving emergency care. With the regionally renowned Total Joint Assessment Clinic, a go-to service for many patients, physicians have seen a steady increase in the number of surgical patient visits each year.
With the number of surgeries tripling over the last two decades, the medical equipment used to perform these operations is in high demand and in urgent need of upgrades and replacement. Your donation will help transform our surgical suites with technology and equipment that will help to reduce wait times (post-pandemic), build capacity, attract the best and brightest surgical talent, and most importantly, improve health outcomes for our patients.
Having the latest technology in our surgical suites will increase precision and accuracy during surgery, which reduces complications and infection and with minimally invasive surgical techniques a patients recovery time is faster with fewer days spent in hospital.
Funds raised through our GivingTuesday 2022 Campaign will be directed towards upgrading one of the surgical suites at QCH. The Operating Rooms are being fitted with industry-leading smart technology - the first of its kind in our region. These advancements will help reduce wait times and improve the patient experience.
YOU can help us put this life-saving technology into the hands of the expert medical team at QCH this GivingTuesday. AND thanks to the generosity of our QCH Medical Staff, all donations made to our #GivingTuesday Campaign will be MATCHED up to $25,000 meaning your gift will have double the impact!
Together, we will save lives.
