Biographical history
Dr. Walter Ford Connell, best known as Ford Connell, was a graduate of Queen's Medical School earning his M.D.C.M in 1929, along with the gold medal in both medicine and surgery. After some time spent overseas, he returned to Queen's in 1935, joining his father Dr. W.T Connell in the Department of Medicine. At this time, he also bought the Kingston General Hospital its first portable electrocardiograph and established its division of cardiology. Connell became the head of the Department of Medicine in 1942, and was a leader in the decision to allow women back into Queen's Medical School in 1943. By the early 1950s, Connell had built up the department of medicine to provide for teaching, research and patient care in many subspecialties. Connell retired in 1968 as an emeritus professor and Queen's awarded him an honorary degree in 1973. Ford Connell passed away in October 1998 in Kingston.
