Kettering Health Network is scheduled to open a $20 million emergency center in Springfield — the healthcare giant’s third and most significant investment in the area — by the end of April, the Dayton Daily News reports.
The Kettering Health Springfield medical center is housed in a 42,000 square foot building that was a Kroger grocery store until three years ago. The facility will be a 24-hour fully functioning emergency center with 70 new jobs, Kettering officials said. It will feature 14 emergency beds for treatments such as trauma and behavioral health, imaging, lab services and office space for outpatient primary care.
Kettering purchased the building for $2.2 million shortly after the Kroger closed in 2019.
The new facility is expected to start receiving patients on April 27, said Ervin Gruia, the director of strategy and operations for Kettering Health Springfield. Read more.
