Reviews

  • Samantha F

Very informative. All the exhibits are presented in a neat, clean and logical fashion. For the location which is rather small, they have a decent sized collection. By far the best part was the excellent service on the part of the staff. We were in a tour group and we were treated exceptionally well. A good place to take kids on breaks and for school trips - also a "must-see" for adults interested in the healthcare field (professionally or otherwise).

  • Stephen LaGuardia

Great museum in both the quality of their collection and unique content. Located in the heart of the medical campus it is a little tricky to find but well worth the effort. Definitely take the free guided tour. The volunteers are extremely knowledgeable both in the medical artifacts and the overall history of the town. Interesting exhibit about health initiative effects on pandemic diseases at the end.

Went on a outdoor walking tour with Hannah and she was amazing! Very insightful, and despite not being able to do indoor tour of the museum -- she made it sooo fun regardless. You can truly see that she is very passionate on what she does! The whole tour made us want to come back again next time, and hopefully see the inside of the museum next time around.

  • Jennifer Hagen

This was a cool little museum! I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The kids and I learned quite a bit about disease and medicine in the last 100 years in Canada. Military history buffs will like the display on medicine in World War I. Museum is free. Location was a little hard to find. Bathrooms available and are nice.

We went on Friday, January 4th, and it was closed. When my wife called before Christmas to ask about the hours she was assured it would be open. Just unfortunate because we actually planned much of our trip to Kingston around this visit. It bothers me when people answer a question without actually being sure of the answer.

Nice little place thar provides a history lesson on the evolution of surgery, dentistry, vaccination and anesthetic. A brief review of nursing history is show cased. This is a self guided tour. It would be nice if it was interactive or if there was a guide so children can benefit

Disappointed thought it would be better. Very small the person working didn't know much of anything. My mother was with me and she is in medical field and she knew 90% more than the person telling us on the museum. Was not worth going to. To 5mins to walk threw

Quite a few rooms and displays. Great place to visit if you are in the area. If you are sensitive to load noise, be aware that sometimes the PA of the hospital can be heard as they are connected.

  • Luke Kroeker

Wonderfully curated history of healthcare with an emphasis on local history. Great exhibits, and friendly staff. Also have other programming such as a baby/toddler program over the summer.
