About Our Hospital
The Lennox and Addington County General Hospital’s emphasis on general medicine and general surgery reflects its role in providing core services. Specialists from Kingston regularly hold clinics at the hospital. The range and scope of those clinics continue to expand as the hospital grows. Emergency services, operating 24 hours a day, see in excess of 26,000 patients per year.
The hospital currently operates 52 beds: 24 acute care, 2 palliative care, 4 level 2 intensive care, and 22 long-term care beds. Our outpatient clinics include: General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Gynecology, Urology, and Plastic Surgery. We have an active Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, Respiratory Rehabilitation Program, Diabetes Education Program, and a recently updated Chemotherapy suite.
The hospital offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic services supported by a well-equipped laboratory and diagnostic imaging department.
The Hospital employs approximately 330 staff. Medical staff includes family physicians, including those with specialties in emergency medicine and anesthesia, 2 general internists, a team of general surgeons, a team of radiologists, and a number of consulting specialty physicians from Kingston.
Our commitment is to provide high quality health care close to home for the residents of Lennox and Addington and surrounding townships. Our state of the art facility provides the equipment that permits us to maintain and enhance our services now and into the future.
Our staff and our volunteers are very proud of the hospital in which they work and serve and are committed to ensuring that each patient and each visitor is treated with the care and compassion which they would wish for a member of their own family. The organizational culture is one of continuous quality improvement.
The involvement and support of the community has been key to the success of our hospital. Information about how you can assist the hospital through donations of time as a volunteer, or financial support, can be found on the pages of this website.
We welcome your input, therefore, if you or a member of your family have any questions or suggestions as to how we might improve our service, you are encouraged to share your feedback.
2021-2024 Strategic Plan
The 2021-24 Strategic Plan outlines a clear path for advancing our vision for the future and provides the framework for establishing our annual objectives.
Our current Operational Plan was developed in parallel to the 2021-2024 Strategic Plan with input from staff members, clinical teams, patients and families, and other stakeholders. As such, the Operational Plan aligns with the organization’s four strategic priorities: patients, people, population, and value.
LACGH’s structures, services, and program areas are adapted to accommodate changes and new challenges such as emerging health problems or needs (i.e. COVID-19); knowledge and technological advances; or, the need for adjustments to the strategic direction, goals, and objectives.
