The late Barclay Hazelton was a frequent patient at The Ottawa Hospital from 1937 to 2005, spending many hours in the Medical Day Care Unit. During his visits, he came to recognize and appreciate the tremendous work of the caring staff. A thoughtful and committed donor, Mr. Hazelton believed that “if you were fortunate enough to lead a good life, you should give something in return.” His ongoing generosity culminated in a significant bequest to The Ottawa Hospital Foundation for the Civic Campus and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.

Pictured here, nurses Cindy McKenney, Sherry Dionne and Donald Timpson join Brian Mallon, Mr. Hazelton’s nephew, in front of a special citation that was mounted in the Medical Day Care Unit to recognize his generous support.
