Kingston benefits from one of the world’s most highly regarded healthcare systems. Once you are a resident of Ontario, most healthcare needs are covered by the province’s medical coverage. Private healthcare plans are available, if required, to cover specialized treatments that do not fall under the province’s scope of coverage.

The Hotel Dieu Hospital, located in Kingston Ontario, is considered an Ambulatory Care Teaching Hospital for the Southeastern Ontario Health Sciences Center. Providing care for more than 350,000 per year is a hard task but with the hard work and compassion that the Hotel Dieu Hospital offers makes each visit somewhat more pleasant.

Kingston General Hospital (KGH) is one of the biggest hospitals in Kingston, helping serve over 500,000 patients a year within the southeastern part of Ontario. With just over 450 beds, Kingston General is a teaching hospital affiliated with Queen's University providing hands on experience for 1,900 health care students and is also Kingston's community hospital.
