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.
