We’re committed to providing our community with excellence in healthcare, medical education, and research. We also offer wellness programs for those in the community who are underinsured or uninsured.
We do this work through the four foundations of Kettering Health:
- Fort Hamilton Hospital Foundation
- Grandview Foundation
- Greene Medical Foundation
- Kettering Health Foundation
All our foundations work on initiatives to support our community with donated funds. This is a look at a key initiative Kettering Health Foundation is supporting.
Brain & Spine and Renew Boutique Partnership
The Brain & Spine program is beginning a new treatment for Parkinson’s patients to treat brain lesions with ultrasonic technology. Approximately 60 patients annually will receive this procedure. All patients will need to remove their hair for the procedure with an estimated 60% of those patients unable to afford the cost of a wig out-of-pocket, as it is not a covered item through any insurance payor.
Kettering Health Foundation launched a partnership with Brain & Spine and Renew Boutique to provide wigs for the estimated 60% of patients who cannot afford them.
This partnership extends the support Kettering Health Foundation has provided for oncology patients through the Women’s Wellness Fund.
