Kettering Health Network kicks off the construction of its new Piqua medical complex with a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, December 10 at 1:30 p.m. The new facility will be located at 308 S. Looney Road near State Route 36 in Piqua.

The 48,000 square-foot medical complex will have a full-service, 24/7 emergency department that will offer a full range of imaging and testing services on a non-emergency basis. The facility will also have a medical office building for primary care and specialty practices. It is expected to create approximately 100 new jobs, including registered nurses, respiratory therapists, imaging and lab technicians and support staff.

“We are pleased to expand our services to Piqua,” says Fred Manchur, Kettering Health Network CEO. Kettering Health Network has made a commitment to bring lifesaving services closer to where people live and work. Residents in and around Piqua have told us they’re excited to be able to access our unique type of whole person care in their community.”

The facility, designed by Environments for Health Architecture (E4H), is scheduled to be completed spring 2020 and is expected to cost about $30 million. Danis Building Construction has been awarded the project.
