About Kemptville District Hospital

Kemptville District Hospital came into being with the arrival of universal health insurance and our communities’ recognition that we had the capacity and privilege of caring for each other in common.

We are proud to be a cornerstone public service that reaffirms our collective safety, care and wellbeing. Our hospital Board understands that the root of the universal health service promise is not about bed numbers or any particular service, but something fundamental to all of us: the promise and privilege of mutual care, a vision of a world of healthier communities.

Now in our seventh decade, we have evolved from a typical small rural hospital into an integrated health services organization focused on our mission of being an excellent leader and partner in meeting people’s diverse health needs and helping to build healthier communities.

How we build healthier communities changes over time. It’s a commitment that is embedded in this hospital, in our past, present and future.

“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!”
