Our community blends rural charm with urban convenience, offering a high quality of life with excellent healthcare, vibrant local businesses, and a wealth of outdoor recreation.
North Grenville is home to Kemptville District Hospital (KDH), a fully accredited healthcare facility renowned for its advanced expertise, patient care, and innovative use of medical technology, such as telehealth and remote diagnostic imaging. With 24-hour emergency services, a strong surgical program, and a dedicated healthcare team, KDH consistently ranks among Ontario’s top hospitals for patient satisfaction. Our hospital serves a catchment area of 70,000 people, including portions of Ottawa South, and we are actively recruiting new physicians to meet the needs of our growing population.
In addition to KDH, North Grenville is served by several comprehensive family medicine practices, including:
• Rideau Crossing Family Health Centre

These clinics provide primary care, preventative medicine, and specialized health services to residents, ensuring accessible and high-quality healthcare for individuals and families in our community.
North Grenville continues to experience strong economic growth, while maintaining its distinct rural character and easy access to urban amenities. The municipality offers diverse shopping and dining experiences, along with a calendar full of unique festivals and outdoor events.
Located just 15 minutes from Merrickville (known as “The Jewel of the Rideau”) visitors and residents can explore over 50 shops and restaurants, many housed in historic stone buildings dating back to the early 1800s. The Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, winds through North Grenville, offering boating, paddling, and scenic walking trails, connecting Ottawa to Kingston along its 124-mile route.
