Kemptville District Hospital to launch ‘Healthcare with Heart’ campaign

KEMPTVILLE, ON, Wednesday, April 30, 2025 – Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) is pleased to announce the launch of its ‘Healthcare with Heart’ campaign.

The campaign is a creative way for KDH to recognize and showcase its excellent health care workers across all departments – including maintenance, scheduling, environmental services, administration, health records, diagnostic imaging and nursing – along with KDH physicians and volunteers.

It also ties in with KDH’s strategic directions of person-centered care, service excellence and innovation, and Team KDH.

‘Healthcare with Heart’ involves weekly posts featuring a KDH staff member talking about why they chose to work in health care. These personal stories will be shared online (www.kdh.on.ca), and through KDH’s social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn), every Wednesday starting next week, on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

“Our people are what make KDH such a fantastic hospital,” said the hospital’s CEO, Frank J. Vassallo. “Without our incredibly professional, dedicated and compassionate staff, KDH wouldn’t have the same heart we all know and value. They provide a level of care to patients that is second to none and I couldn’t be prouder of Team KDH. This campaign is a way for us to promote the amazing people providing excellent care at KDH.”

‘Healthcare with Heart’ aims to strengthen the connection between KDH staff, physicians, volunteers, and people who access care at the hospital. Watch KDH’s social media channels for the latest ‘Healthcare with Heart’ posts.
