Our Strategic Plan

The KDH vision is a hospital that is much more than a place for treating illness: it is a vital and compassionate part of a larger, integrated health system, supporting the mental, physical and social health and wellness of the people and communities we serve.

To achieve our vision, KDH has a clear and focused Strategic Plan, which is centred on five strategic directions, with four key priorities supporting each strategic direction.

Our Strategic Directions are –

  • Person-Centered Care
  • Service Excellence and Innovation
  • Team KDH
  • Strong and Vital Partnerships
  • Sustainability and Growth

Our current Strategic Plan, Your Hospital, Your Community: Growing Together, guides our work from 2022 through 2026. The Plan was developed in collaboration with more than 800 stakeholders: patients, staff, partners, and neighbours.

We will be releasing a report halfway through the term of the Plan to share our progress to that point, and then a final report at the end of the term.

“I felt compelled to send a note. I received a total hip at KDH three weeks ago. The experience was fantastic. I was quite stressed about the whole event and the team at KDH put me at ease very quickly. As I arrived I was looked after by Mary-Pat in the prep area. She was great – clear and reassuring in all of her communications and what I needed to do. I immediately felt more comfortable. Dr. Dave the anesthetist was great as well. He was confident, clear and experienced and after him giving me a spinal I really don’t remember a thing. Thanks to Dr. Grammatopoulos for the new hip – three weeks in and things are going well. I would give KDH a mark of 110%. I felt well cared for and the people I dealt with were professional, caring and provided great support.”
