This is the place that cares for our region.

We provide care to a region of more than 500,000 people across southeastern Ontario and all the way north to James Bay.

People come to us for care not available in their community, like heart and brain surgery, life support, stem cells, radiation and advanced imaging.

We’re also a community hospital caring for the less acute needs of residents in the Kingston area.

This is the place where donations change lives.

We depend on the support of donors in our community to fund things like state-of-the-art equipment and essential infrastructure upgrades. The generosity of our donors through our fundraising partners at University Hospitals Kingston Foundation has created spaces like Breast Imaging Kingston, purchased essential tools such as thermometers, and funded projects such as the second MRI.
