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.

“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."
