Kettering (Ohio) Health is reversing plans to replace Kettering Health Greene Memorial hospital in Xenia, Ohio. Instead, the system plans to invest further in the Greene Memorial facility and build a separate outpatient facility for a total investment of about $35 million, according to a news release shared with Becker’s.
As of Sept. 4, the system is awaiting approval from the city of Xenia to build a $26 million, 24,000-square-foot outpatient health center. The new campus would offer primary care, on-demand walk-in care, lab services and imaging while over $10 million will go toward renovations at Kettering Health Greene Memorial.
“We remain committed to addressing the local shortage of primary care and specialist physicians in Xenia,” said Ron Connovich, president of Kettering Health Medical Group, in the release.
Just over a year ago, Kettering Health had planned to replace Greene Memorial. However, the system faced pushback from the city for its $44 million replacement plan. Soon afterward, city officials advocated for Greene Memorial hospital to remain open, even proposing to acquire it earlier in 2024.
