Way back when I was a teenager (approx 1982 or 1983), I volunteered at the Civic Hospital as a Candy Striper. Being a shy person and coming from a small town south of Ottawa, it was quite intimidating to come into the big city hospital. However, the nurses and staff and other volunteers were very […]

My mother, Mathilde Bohmer, worked at the Civic in the mid-fifties, first in the cafeteria and later as a nurse’s aid. This photo, entitled “United Nations” at Civic Hospital, has always interested me. The hospital has always welcomed immigrants with open arms.

En 2021, mon épouse Michèle a été opérée d’une tumeur au cerveau. Ce moment très stressant pour nous s’est bien passé grâce aux explications et aux bons soins que nous a offerts l’équipe du Dr Agby en neurologie. Mon épouse est en pleine forme. Nous ne saurions trop remercier l’hôpital pour les bons soins reçus.

Here’s a story: On February 25 1984, and August 11 1985 babies were born at the then Civic Hospital. They have grown up to be marvelous people. Perhaps thanks to the wonderful teams that were present at those momentous beginnings.

A number of years ago I was referred to the Urology Department for prostate problems. I received excellent care from Dr. Morash and staff. The diagnosis and treatment of my enlarged benign prostate enabled me to continue working and resume my normal activities. I am grateful for the care I received at the Civic Hospital.

Years ago, I was admitted to the Civic campus of The Ottawa Hospital and received the best care. The doctors and nurses were very caring and loving.

My special moment is the memories of the care my husband had at the General Hospital when he was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer about 9 years ago. Having a family member going through Cancer is a terrible experience but thanks to the Ottawa General Hospital and the help and support of the doctors and staff […]
