Front Line Diaries

At the centre of the COVID-19 crisis you will find the front-line staff of The Ottawa Hospital. Nurses, doctors, and researchers working day and night to heal our patients and find a cure.

Their stories are ones of emotion, dedication, and determination. They are relentless in the fight against this global pandemic. They are husbands, wives, moms, and dads. They are our neighbours.

And they have an incredible story to tell.

The Ottawa Hospital and Bell Media are partnering together to launch a series featuring our front-line workers and their personal stories. Front-line Diaries will feature dozens of staff who are at the heart of our local COVID-19 relief efforts. Using two-way video technology, Bell Media journalists will interview staff at The Ottawa Hospital who will guide them through a ‘show and tell’ style of interview.
