M OVING F ORWARD T OGETHER The Centre envisions a local system concept that brings together health care and community partners. Together, we are creating a local health system to shape our future – and care for the families around us. W DMH’s plans focus on services close to home and partnerships to build upon the care we provide. We call it The Centre of Excellence for Rural Health and Education – an innovative way to address the changing demands of the current health care system and the needs of our local communities.
Acute Hospital Care – WDMH is a community teaching hospital serving 90,000 residents.
Seniors’ Care – Our focus on seniors’ care includes an innovative Complex Continuing Care program and the integration of Dundas Manor.
Physician Care – Family medicine is the core physician workforce at WDMH with 30 family physicians and midwives. An additional 35 specialists provide additional ambulatory care and surgical services.
Community Care - Early next year, we will welcome our newest partners in the new Community Care Building now under construction: Eastern Ontario Health Unit; Champlain Community Care Access Centre; Ontario Early Years Program and Job Zone d’emploi.
Education and Research – WDMH was the first rural teaching hospital to host a two-year family residency program, and has affiliations with 13 universities and colleges.
Technology – Technology offers the potential to further improve collaboration.
Together, we are creating a local health care system to shape our future – and care for the families around us.

A Lasting Legacy Four loved ones lost. Four lives impacted, in some way by WDMH. Four people who decided to identify the Foundation as a beneficiary in their estate. This kind of decision requires preparation and planning, so you can imagine how touched we were that these community members remembered the WDMH Foundation in their wills this past year. Estate gifts are close to the heart, so we know that these individuals had wonderful intentions and followed through, becoming philanthropic leaders. As we cannot thank them personally, our thoughts go out to their loved ones. These gifts will have a lasting impact at WDMH, just as these people left a legacy with every heart they touched. For more information about the Foundation’s Legacy Program , please visit www.wdmh.on.ca/ foundation or give us a call at 613-774-2422 x 6161 .
