About Kemptville District Hospital

Kemptville District Hospital came into being with the arrival of universal health insurance and our communities’ recognition that we had the capacity and privilege of caring for each other in common.

We are proud to be a cornerstone public service that reaffirms our collective safety, care and wellbeing. Our hospital Board understands that the root of the universal health service promise is not about bed numbers or any particular service, but something fundamental to all of us: the promise and privilege of mutual care, a vision of a world of healthier communities.

Now in our seventh decade, we have evolved from a typical small rural hospital into an integrated health services organization focused on our mission of being an excellent leader and partner in meeting people’s diverse health needs and helping to build healthier communities.

How we build healthier communities changes over time. It’s a commitment that is embedded in this hospital, in our past, present and future.

“I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the physicians, nurses, nursing aides, dietary, environmental services, lab, and diagnostic imaging staff, and many others who helped so much to make my stay in March so much easier for me. It was a worrying time for me and my family. There was not a single staff member at any time who did not make me feel more at ease and well cared for. I am still finding ways to cope with my condition and slowly but steadily improving with the regular support of my doctors and remain cautiously optimistic, but it looks like a long road ahead. I learned a lot while I was being cared for, particularly about the value of those small instances of human kindness. I wanted to express my appreciation for all the dedicated work everyone at KDH does.”
