Soin Medical Center is celebrating five years of patient care and will kick off its anniversary with an internal celebration ceremony on Wednesday.

The ceremony will recognize people who were instrumental in Soin’s beginning and opening, including representatives from Kettering Health Network, the initial Soin leadership team, the first chief of staff, one of the hospital’s first staff members, and the first volunteer. Network and hospital leaders also will recognize Indu and Raj Soin for their vision and commitment to help make Soin Medical Center a reality.

The full-service, acute care hospital opened to patients on February 22, 2012 with 42 inpatient beds. Since then, the hospital has experienced tremendous growth, expanding the Emergency Department and opening the fourth and fifth floors ahead of projections. Soin has more than tripled its bed count to continue meeting the needs of the growing community.

In the past five years, the hospital has become a Level III Trauma Center, Primary Stroke Center, and host to Kettering Cancer Care and several specialty care centers serving the northeastern Dayton region.
