Extra Mile
"The care I received at Kettering gave me my life back."
– Reenie Boecker
Grateful patients like Reenie make it possible for Kettering Health to invest in people, technology, and their patients. Many of the buildings, equipment, and programs that impacted your medical journey are here because of the generosity of patients expressing their gratitude.
Extra Mile Program
The Extra Mile program is designed to allow you to show your gratitude in three distinct ways:
-
Give
Your generosity provides the opportunity for exemplary care for future patients. When you make a gift to the Extra Mile program combined with a note in honor of a doctor, nurse or care team you are making a difference. By making a gift of any amount, your caregiver will receive a certificate and lapel pin identifying them as an honoree.
Give today -
Share your story
Write a quick note of appreciation to a doctor, nurse, or care team. Our medical heroes love to hear from their patients and notes of gratitude uplift their spirits. Your note will be shared directly with the people you choose to honor and their supervisors.

Volunteer
There are so many ways that you can demonstrate your generosity and help other patients experience the same exemplary care that you did. Learn more about the various volunteer opportunities at Kettering Health.
