Kettering Health Network Middletown expands women’s health services

Kettering Health Middletown recently expanded its women’s services with a dedication of its new Kettering Breast Evaluation Center.

Located at 6147 Ohio 122, just southeast of Interstate 75’s Middletown exit, the center offers patients a relaxing environment featuring a 3D mammography unit with a sensory suite that includes a 49-inch flat panel monitor designed to reduce anxiety and increase comfort.

During a mammogram, patients can watch a series of images from nature and listen to relaxing sounds. A scent diffuser fills the air with a calming fragrance.

Terry Burns, chief operating officer, Kettering Health Network, said the health system is grateful for the reception the local community has given since the $36 million medical facility opened in August 2018. “Our first year here in Middletown has ended with great momentum,” he said. “Our goal continues to be following a growth trajectory that is led by the needs our patients and physicians share with us.”

Kettering Health Network is a not-for-profit network of nine hospitals, 12 emergency departments, and 120 outpatient facilities serving southwest Ohio. The network’s hospitals are Kettering, Grandview, Sycamore, Southview, Greene Memorial, Soin, Fort Hamilton, Troy and Kettering Behavioral Medicine.

Anita Adams-Jenkins, president, Sycamore Medical Center, said the new Women’s Health service area is a direct result of Kettering Health’s patients and physicians requesting additional access and services.

“It allows patients quicker and better access to physicians and closer access to Kettering Health Network’s key preventative services,” she said. “This new expansion includes 6,000 square feet, allowing additional space for physicians and state-of-the-art 3D mammography services with a sensory suite. In addition, we will be able to continue to grow in our primary care service to meet community demands.”

Kettering Health Network Middletown is also home to Kettering Physician Network Women’s Health – Middletown, which offers a full range of obstetrics and gynecology services. With experienced physicians, the practice is equipped to care for women at every stage of life’s journey.
