Kettering Medical Center has been named one of the Top 20 Most Beautiful Hospitals in the United States by Soliant Health, an Adecco Group company that is a leading provider of specialized healthcare staffing services to hospitals and healthcare providers.
Kettering Medical Center was ranked #7 following a month-long voting period opened to the public. More than 50 hospitals were nominated.
According to Soliant, Kettering Medical Center rose to its Top 20 list because of the addition of the Kettering Cancer Center to it campus in 2016 with the guidance of a patient advisory council. The building features floor-to-ceiling windows and natural elements like water features and fireplaces to help create a soothing and welcoming atmosphere.
“This is quite an honor to be named one of the most beautiful hospitals in the country,” says Jarrod McNaughton, president of Kettering Medical Center. “In addition to the hospital and the cancer center, it’s the people inside that make our campus truly beautiful. Our physicians, nurses and staff provide such amazing care to our patients and families in a facility that promotes a healing environment.”
