Environmental Sustainability

Our Hospital. Our Responsibility.

At Kemptville District Hospital we recognize that, as a community leader, we have a responsibility to minimize our ecological impact while providing quality healthcare services in a manner that ensures a safe and healthy environment for our patients, staff, and visitors.

Our Environmental Mission Statement is a demonstrated commitment from within to operate in an environmentally responsible manner today, for a better tomorrow:

Green Health Care Awards

KDH’s sustainability efforts were rewarded in late 2020 with five awards from The Canadian Coalition for Green Healthcare in the small hospital peer group:

  • In 2019, KDH earned Silver Status in the Green Hospital Scorecard, based on 2018 data.
  • In June 2018, KDH received two 2017 Ontario Green Health Care Awards in the small hospital category: the Green Hospital of the Year Award and the Waste Award. Our 2017 results also earned KDH a Silver Seal in the Green Hospital Scorecard for the second year running. Read all about it here.
  • October 2015, our efforts to improve environmental performance were rewarded with a Silver Seal in the Ontario Hospital Association’s Green Hospital Scorecard program. Read all about it here.

Went to KDH for a mammogram today. So very impressed at the way things were handled when I arrived. Pertinent questions and screening. Very professional. Felt safe and secure. Kudos to all the staff there! Highly recommend you folks as always.”
