Melanie Adams opens her first episode as host of Pulse by welcoming a familiar face — former host Shelley McLean — for a heartfelt conversation about her many years with The Ottawa Hospital Foundation and the deeply personal experiences that connect her to the hospital.

Shelley reflects on how her family's cancer journey shaped her passion for research, why new clinical trials offer so much hope, and what excites her about the new campus development. They also explore the power of community events like Race Weekend in driving the Campaign to Create Tomorrow forward, and the many ways people can make a meaningful impact.
