Our Approach to Emergency and Trauma Care

Kettering Health delivers fast, effective emergency care close to home. We offer community-based emergency and trauma services throughout western Ohio. With 13 comprehensive emergency centers—more than any other healthcare system in the region—we’re there when you need us the most. 

Why Choose Us for Emergency and Trauma Care?

Highlights of our regional emergency and trauma centers include the following:

• Care for older adults: Our emergency centers are accredited as senior-friendly by the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). By meeting guidelines for the ACEP’s Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation, we improve the emergency-room experience for older adults and deliver an extra level of attentive care.
• Community involvement: Our emergency centers coordinate extensive outreach programs, including EMS training and safety education. We’re here not only to treat emergencies when they happen but also to improve the overall health of the cities and towns we serve.
• Dedicated trauma care: When trauma patients need advanced levels of care, our designated trauma centers provide coordinated care in a critical situation. By providing resources that range from emergency stabilization, resuscitation, and surgery, we are equipped to provide care for traumatic injuries.
• Expert team: As part of Kettering Health, our emergency and trauma centers connect you with some of the most experienced specialists in the region. Skilled trauma surgeons, neuroradiologists, and cardiologists are on-call to perform urgent interventional procedures for trauma, stroke, and heart attack.
• Innovative technology: Our emergency centers feature advanced technologies, including robot-assisted telestroke services and electronic data-sharing capabilities with first responders. We optimize every aspect of emergency treatment to ensure you get the fastest, most efficient care possible.
• National accreditation: Kettering Health Main Campus has earned accreditation as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC). Our other emergency centers are certified Stroke Ready Centers, which means our locations have the expert staff and technology to provide lifesaving stroke care. 
• Seamless transfers: Whether it’s on the ground with our fleet of vehicles (mobile ICUs, ambulances, and ambulettes) or in the air with our medical helicopter partner, MedFlight, we can cover any of your transportation needs.
