March 8 is International Women’s Day, and we’re celebrating the incredible women – past and present – who make The Ottawa Hospital a world-class health-care organization.
From 1924 to 2025, women have always played a pivotal role in making The Ottawa Hospital a world-class health care organization.
On International Women’s Day on March 8, we recognize and celebrate a century’s-worth of incredible women medical and administrative staff, researchers and volunteers for all that they have done and still do to ensure everyone who comes to The Ottawa Hospital receives the same exceptional service and compassionate care that we would want for our own loved ones.
