Our services include 24-hour emergency care, inpatient care, advanced orthopaedic surgery (as a satellite of The Ottawa Hospital), and outpatient care. We are an integrated health services organization with deep partnerships in our community and region. With our partners in the Ottawa West Four Rivers Ontario Health Team, we are collaborating on a new model of health care delivery that puts patients, families and caregivers at the centre of the health care system.

Staff Profile
Steve WebberMaintenance Mechanic, Stationary Engineering Team Lead
As a Stationary Engineer, I am licensed to operate KDH’s three steam boilers and all ancillary equipment such as air handling units, air conditioning units, pneumatic and digital controls. As a team, we perform preventative maintenance on all of our HVAC and plumbing equipment. We monitor and fulfil work service requests throughout the hospital. We also do our best to fix what gets broken. I liaise with our contract service providers to ensure they have what they need to perform work that we cannot do.
Prior to working at KDH, I was retired (for one year) from the City of Nepean and Ottawa after 36 years of service. My wife had her knee surgery at KDH and we were both so impressed with the staff and care she received. As a result, when I saw a posting on the hospital website for a maintenance position, I applied. I was eventually encouraged to apply for the Team Lead position when my predecessor announced his retirement. So, in effect, KDH chose me and gave me, a retiree, a chance at a second career I never knew I wanted but greatly appreciate.
Being able to still contribute to the hospital and community I live in gives me great satisfaction.
“I had surgery at KDH for a knee injury. The experience I had was like no other. The video of what to expect was superbly done and put me at ease before I arrived. The greeter was welcoming and had a great sense of humour. I could tell he really enjoyed his job! The nurse who took care of me explained everything that would happen. I shared with her my fear of IVs and she used a small needle and distracted me so I felt only a pinch. Dr. Marshall explained the procedure and what would happen. He wheeled me into surgery and the people in the OR all introduced themselves and told me what they do. After the surgery, another nurse was there when I opened my eyes and she could see I was confused so she told me it was ok to go back to sleep for a little while. Later, she made sure I was ready to go. I work in the Human Resources field, and I would love to know more about how you create a culture where everyone wants to be at work and be their best selves!”
