What Kettering Health does

Kettering Health is a private, faith-based, not-for-profit integrated delivery network headquartered in Kettering, Ohio, with a flagship Main Campus at 3535 Southern Boulevard and operations across western Ohio. The system operates 14 medical centers plus emergency centers, urgent care, outpatient facilities, and Kettering Health Medical Group physician practices, delivering comprehensive services across six clinical service lines: cancer care, heart and vascular care, brain and spine care, orthopedics, primary care, and women's health, supported by pharmacy services and the MyChart patient portal running on Epic EHR. The organization traces its lineage to Dayton Osteopathic Hospital (founded 1926) and was formed in its current structure in 1999 through the merger of Grandview Medical Center and Kettering Medical Center; it is guided by Seventh-day Adventist principles and positions itself as a whole-person care ministry serving general, rural/underserved, and women's health populations.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services — direct patient care delivered across inpatient, outpatient, emergency, diagnostic, pharmacy, and specialty settings — billed through commercial insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, and direct patient payments, with financial assistance programs in place. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, with patients accessing care via physician referrals, self-referral for primary care and on-demand urgent care, emergency services, and the MyChart portal. Beyond care delivery, Kettering Health operates a graduate medical education enterprise at Soin Medical Center encompassing ACGME-accredited Family Medicine residency, Sports Medicine fellowship, Hospice and Palliative Medicine fellowship, Clinical Informatics fellowship (dissolving), Transitional Year residency (dissolving at end of 2026 academic year), and PGY1 Pharmacy Residency, supplemented by Kettering College. Philanthropy runs through the Kettering Health Foundation, which raised over $3.8 million in 2025 and distributed over $1.1 million.

Underlying technology infrastructure centers on Epic EHR with integrated remote patient monitoring (notably an Epic-connected CardioMEMS heart failure platform achieving a 77% reduction in clinician post-implant activity time), AI-assisted procurement tools (SpendRule), and pharmacy logistics automation (VPL). Recent strategic moves include the Xenia Health Center groundbreaking ($40M, 2026), a comprehensive Ohio University academic affiliation (2026), and SAMHSA-funded expansion of the PAUSE opioid-free pain management program across all 13 emergency centers, alongside the contraction of two GME programs and the operational/legal aftermath of a May 2025 ransomware attack by the Interlock group that exfiltrated 941 GB of patient data.
