The story of Canadian health and medicine tells how people have preserved health and managed disease, pain, and suffering. The Museum of Health Care at Kingston strives to connect visitors with the experiences of people in past times and provide context and perspective on today's health issues. To help Canadians better understand this history, the Museum preserves and promotes the rich material legacy of our medical and health care past. We serve the general public, practitioners, students, and historians through exhibitions, interpretive programs, and special events throughout the year.
