The Ottawa Hospital and Kemptville District Hospital are working together to keep the smaller hospital\u0027s emergency department open this summer.
Other rural hospitals have continued to temporarily close emergency departments, including frequent closures in recent months at hospitals in Carleton Place and Almonte. The hospital in Minden, Ontario is now permanently closing its emergency department amid protests by area residents.Prior to 2022, emergency department closures due to staffing shortages were extremely rare in Ontario.
Cameron Love, president and CEO of The Ottawa Hospital noted the two hospitals have worked together for years, “collaborating on ways to improve access to care for patients throughout our region. This partnership is another step in that approach, as we look at more ways to ensure patients receive the care they need.”
Vassallo said the partnerships with TOH, including the collaboration aimed at keeping the rural emergency department open “ensure that all patients will continue to receive high-quality, timely and consistent care, no matter where they are.”
