HEALTH SERVICES COMMUNITY
The City of Kingston offers a wide range of community health services that are suitable for medical needs ranging from non-life threatening to longterm care. There are also facilities available should emergency services be needed. Kingston General Hospital, an acute-care teaching hospital that is affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine at Queen’s University, offers a 24-hour emergency care department. An Urgent Care Centre that focuses on non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses, can be found at Hotel Dieu Hospital and operates daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Most services are covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Wait times can vary at these hospitals depending on the severity of the injury or illness. Both departments have triage nurses on staff who assess the urgency of each patient’s condition upon arrival. Please note that a telephone translation service is available in hospitals. This service is available in 200 languages at any time of the day or night. The Children’s Outpatient Clinic is located at the Hotel Dieu Hospital serving patients from birth to 18 years old and it’s open Monday to Friday, from 9am to 4 pm
