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
TaraPersonal Care Assistant / Personal Support Worker 
“I got into health care because I wanted to help people. Initially, I went into the paramedic program, and later went back to school to become a Personal Support Worker as well. Since then, every job I’ve had has been in health care and public safety.
What I like about working in a hospital is the acute care and being there for patients and families through different stages of care needs. Those interactions make them feel like a person instead of a number.
We focus on person-centered care and it’s gratifying to see the positive impact that has on someone’s healthcare journey.”
“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."
