Kettering Health also has plans to build a $26 million outpatient health center on Progress Drive. Pending approval from the city, the 24,000-square-foot facility would offer primary care, on-demand walk-in care, lab services, and imaging.
As News Center 7 previously reported, Kettering Health had announced plans to invest $44 million to replace Greene Memorial with a new medical center, which was to be called Kettering Health Xenia, in August 2024.
Around that same time, the city of Xenia had expressed interest in taking over control of Greene Memorial, even looking to provide an ‘exit ramp’ for Kettering Health.
“We remain committed to addressing the local shortage of primary care and specialist physicians in Xenia,” Ron Connovich, president of Kettering Health Medical Group, said in a release on Monday. “We want to move forward—and have prioritized investing resources to meet the most pressing healthcare needs of the community.”
