Healthcare With Heart
Kemptville District Hospital created the ‘Healthcare with Heart’ campaign to showcase our wonderful staff, and bolster recruitment efforts! ‘Healthcare with Heart’ features members of Team KDH – from all departments – talking about why they work in health care.
These personal stories aim to strengthen the connection between our staff and patients, by highlighting what is at the heart of our hospital: people.
The weekly posts will be shared on our website, and through KDH’s social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn). Get to know our staff through ‘Healthcare with Heart’ and see what KDH is all about!

“This letter is written to express my utmost appreciation and heartfelt thanks to the Emergency Team at KDH. Last Tuesday morning I received a phone call from my teenage son Markus’s school informing me that he had inadvertently eaten a cookie containing peanuts. As he has a life-threatening peanut allergy, this was an immediate cause for concern. Markus was taken to the ER and immediately given a dose of norepinephrine, followed by an infusion after he had a second reaction. Markus was transferred to CHEO by ambulance later in the afternoon. As you can imagine, this was an incredibly impactful experience for Markus and my entire family. We have such respect for the wonderful work of the Emergency Team at KDH, to whom Markus owes his life. Everyone was caring, kind and professional. Special thanks go to Dr. Pelletier, Dr. Jones, and nurses Catherine, Heather, and Melissa."
