CCME 2013 Final Program - (Page 50)
MONDAY, APRIL 22, 2013
In 1998, Dr. Kitts was appointed Vice-President of Medical Affairs and led the medical staff during a complex
restructuring in which three hospitals and five large programs were merged into The Ottawa Hospital. He
completed his master’s degree in business administration in 2001 and was named President and CEO of The
Ottawa Hospital in February 2002. Dr. Kitts continues in that position to this day, managing a staff of 12 000.
The Ottawa Hospital is recognized as one of the largest and most important research and teaching hospitals in
Canada. Its research institute is one of the foremost institutes in Canada, involving more than 1500 scientists,
clinical investigators, trainees, and staff.
Dr. Kitts’ inclusive, team-oriented, and strategic leadership, passion to ensure the delivery of quality patientcentered care, and development and mentoring of physician leaders has been a central, unifying force in
establishing and sustaining The Ottawa Hospital’s vision to provide each patient with the world-class care,
exceptional service, and compassion that we would want for our loved ones.
Dr. Kitts’ roots are solidly anchored in the Ottawa Valley. His wife and three children have also chosen careers
within the health sector.

In addition to a BSc (University of Toronto) and a Masters Degree in Education (University

Dr. Turnbull has pursued an interest in poverty and its effect on health nationally and
internationally. He is one of the founders and is currently the Medical Director of the Inner City Health Project
