Founded in 1964, it is the flagship hospital of Kettering Health Network, and is directly affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church.[1] It is also affiliated with Boonshoft School of Medicine.[2] In 2020, Forbes and Great Places to Work named Kettering Health Network a Best Place to Work, regardless of industry.[3]
History
Virginia Kettering and her husband Eugene, son of famous inventor Charles F. Kettering, were native citizens of Dayton. They moved to Hinsdale, Illinois near Chicago in the 1940s. During the polio epidemic in the 1950s, they were inspired by the care given at Hinsdale Hospital, which would play a vital role in the foundation of Kettering Medical Center. Following the death of his father in 1958, the younger Ketterings moved from Illinois back to Dayton to help manage family affairs. Health care was a primary focus of Charles Kettering, so Eugene and Virginia led efforts to open a local area hospital in his honor. Ground was broken on July 7, 1961. In 1964, Charles F. Kettering Memorial Hospital opened under the leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.[4][5]
In October 2010 Kettering Medical Center opened the Benjamin and Marian Schuster Heart Hospital, a new wing to the hospital that included a renovated lobby and new main entrance with an outpatient pharmacy, expanded gift shop and bakery.
In 2016, Kettering Health Network opened the new pavilion, that houses the Kettering Cancer Center, and Kettering Brain & Spine. The $60M structure is connected to the main hospital via skybridge over Southern Blvd.[6]
