Kingston General Hospital celebrating 175 years of care

As the first step in our year of celebration for KGH's 175th anniversary a new heritage logo has been designed incorporating the shape of the original KGH building, the Main, depicted in the artist’s rendering above. Over the next year we'll be using the new heritage logo to help celebrate our history.

KGH may not be the oldest hospital in Canada, but it is the country's oldest public hospital with most of its original buildings still intact and in use.

How are we doing?

As a publicly-funded hospital in Ontario, we are accountable to our patients, our communities, the South East Local Health Integration Network and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. We support the sharing of information about our budget and improvement plans to ensure ongoing transparency and accountability. We believe this transparency will enhance patient safety and strengthen the public’s confidence in our hospital.
