With Kettering Telehealth, we make health care easier than ever, while maintaining the personal touch and guidance you need. We offer face-to-face, voice-to-voice video visits with our very own health care providers from the comfort of your home—eliminating trips to the doctor’s office when possible while allowing you to receive the same great care you expect from us.
At Kettering Health Network, we’re passionate about supporting you in your health, so we strive to meet you wherever you are and guide you through your care journey. We proudly serve individuals across southwest Ohio, from the cities or suburbs of Dayton and Hamilton to the rural communities of Greene and Miami counties.
Get started by calling

to find a provider.
Telehealth uses communication technology - such as an internet connection and a smartphone, tablet, or computer – to deliver care from a provider directly to you.
If you’ve ever delayed a medical appointment or ignored symptoms you’re experiencing, then rest assured that you’re not alone. Maybe you couldn’t find the time in your busy schedule, the transportation, or even the energy required to get yourself to the doctor’s office.
Even though you’re in good company, we believe you deserve the care you need when you need it—and nothing should stand in the way. Kettering Telehealth removes those barriers by using communication technology to eliminate trips to the doctor’s office whenever possible.
When you schedule a telehealth visit, you’ll meet with your Kettering Physician Network provider if you have one, not a third-party provider. After all, our providers know you, have access to your health records, and consistently meet high quality and safety standards. In fact, Kettering Health Network is the first health system in the Dayton area to offer telehealth using our very own providers.
From wellness checks to specialist consultations and everything in between, we offer telehealth services for each Kettering Physician Network outpatient service. Depending on your symptoms, your provider may be able to provide all the care you need during your telehealth appointment.
Sometimes your provider needs more information to help you make important decisions about your care. If they need to perform diagnostic testing, such as laboratory testing or imaging studies, they will order it from your telehealth visit. If they need to examine you or perform a procedure, they will ask you to schedule an in-person appointment.

Receive a link 10 to 15 minutes before the appointment. You’ll receive this link via the channel you selected, either email or text message. Be prepared, after you click on the link, to receive pop-up messages asking for your permission to enable devices, such as your microphone. Click "yes."
Click the link, and enter the virtual waiting room. Your provider will join you there for your appointment.
You’ll need internet access and a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a microphone and speakers so you can talk, listen, and see your provider.
Close unnecessary programs to minimize interference with streaming bandwidth. Set up your camera to be eye level or above. Test your microphone and speakers to determine if you will need a headset.
If you’ve been tracking your symptoms, bring your log to your appointment.
These individuals are welcome and can be very helpful with contributing to your telehealth visit.
Attend your telehealth visit in a quiet place so you and your provider can hear each other clearly.
When your provider stops talking, count to five before speaking.
