Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) officially opened its doors on December 8, 1948. On March 27, 2009, the new Winchester District Memorial Hospital was officially opened, resulting in the most technologically advanced facility in rural Ontario.

Today, WDMH is a hub site for cancer care, dialysis, and cataract surgery and offers specialty clinics with visiting specialists from Ottawa hospitals. They work with community partners to create a Centre of Excellence for Rural Health and Education. This ‘health hub’ coordinates services for patients in the hospital, residents in long-term care, and clients of community services.

The WDMH team is made up of committed staff, physicians, and volunteers. Together, they want to ensure that every patient experience is the best it can be. Quality improvement is an ongoing priority to continually find new and better ways of doing things.

WDMH is here to care for their patients with compassion – close to home! They continue to pursue excellence and value respect, accountability, innovation, and learning.
