Kensington Health has been deeply rooted in the Kensington community for more than half a century. From its origins as St. John’s Surgical Hospital and later as The Doctor’s Hospital, Kensington Health was founded with a commitment to break barriers, raise expectations and promote health equity for the structurally vulnerable.
Over the years, we have grown from a small grassroots organization to a high-profile provider of community-delivered care. Annually at Kensington:
· 350 people call our long-term care residences home
· 400+ seniors remain active and engaged in the community and avoid loneliness at our Seniors Active Living Centres across the city
· 19 people can die with dignity in our beautiful residential hospice
· 16,000 eye surgeries are performed and 36,000 visits to our eye clinics improve vision and quality of life
· 5,000 endoscopic scopes are performed for screening, and,
· 26,000 people are provided with diagnostic imaging.
Enabled by our strategic plan, we have set our sights to become an internationally renowned leader in community-delivered care, amplifying our impact on the people we serve and helping to bring about widescale system transformation.
