Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) operates a 24/7 emergency department at 2675 Concession Rd in Kemptville, Ontario, serving North Grenville, the eastern United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, and South Ottawa — roughly 30 minutes south of the city. As a 40-bed acute care facility founded in 1960, KDH has grown into an integrated health services organization offering emergency care, advanced orthopaedic surgery (as a satellite of The Ottawa Hospital), diagnostic imaging including CT, and a range of outpatient and surgical services. Patients requiring higher-level or specialized pediatric care are transferred to Ottawa-area facilities, including CHEO for children.
Parking is a $6 flat rate for up to 24 hours — one of the lowest rates in the region. Payment is made via a gateless Scan to Pay system: scan the QR code on any parking sign and pay by debit, credit card, Google Pay, or Apple Pay — no app required. A cash meter at the ER entrance accepts coins only (exact change required); a nearby ATM and a bill-to-coin change machine are available for convenience. Drop-off and pick-up in designated spaces is free. The facility has a main lower lot and an upper east lot serving clinics and inpatient visitors. The site is fully accessible, and all parking revenue is reinvested into patient care.

No historical wait time data is currently available for this location. As with most emergency departments, evenings, weekends, and holidays typically see higher volumes. Avoid visiting the ER for non-urgent issues like prescription renewals or routine paperwork, as these are not ER functions and will not be handled there.
Emergency departments use triage — patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.
Wait times are estimates based on Ontario health data using historical volumes, current patient counts, and staffing. Actual wait times may vary.
