KETTERING — Kettering Health Network and Kettering Physician Network are teaming up with 10 of Kroger Health’s The Little Clinic locations to offer consumers improved access to healthcare services and physicians.

This clinical collaboration connects 10 of Kroger’s in-store clinics with Kettering Physician Network’s 600-plus board-certified physicians and advanced practice providers with an extensive range of medical specialties. Whether someone needs the convenience of after-hours care for a minor illness or injury, vaccinations, physicals or chronic condition, Kettering Health Network, Kettering Physician Network and The Little Clinic are working together to improve access to medical care. Convenient availability will help reduce visits to the emergency department.

Dr. Marc Watkins, CMO of Kroger Health added “This strategic alliance with Kettering Health Network provides additional opportunities for clinical collaboration with the primary goal of helping people live healthier lives. More importantly, it allows the teams at Kroger Health and Kettering to help improve access to high quality care for patients and customers in the Dayton area.”
