In addition, we provide many outpatient services, including primary care medicine, laboratory, and radiology services, as well as specialty services like cardiology, OB-GYN, and orthopedic services accounting for more than 38,000 outpatient visits last year.
“Our experience with Middletown has been rewarding because of the community. It has been a great partnership, and I see a bright future ahead of us,” said Kettering Health Miamisburg/Washington Township president Erica Schneider, who provides executive oversight of Middletown medical center. “We’re thankful to serve this community.”
Schneider recently announced the appointment of Joshua Michalski to the newly created Chief Operating Officer position. In this role, he will lead operational initiatives at Kettering Health Middletown, as well as other nearby Kettering Health locations.
Joshua's diverse background as an entrepreneur, investor, educator, and economist has significantly contributed to his success in the healthcare industry. His dedication to achieving win-win outcomes rather than settling for compromises highlights his commitment to creating value for all parties involved.
Joshua and his wife Brianne moved to the Dayton area to be close to the grandparents who helped build Kettering Memorial Hospital in 1964 and join the legacy that has expanded to so many communities beyond its original site. Outside his professional life, Joshua and his wife, Brianne, are passionate outdoor enthusiasts. Each year, they embark on adventures to explore new National Parks and tackle new backpacking trails.
“The American healthcare industry is the most complex in the world. The economic incentives are difficult to align between providers, payors, and the community,” Michalski says. “But solving these problems is so motivating.” He shares Kettering Health’s passionate commitment to healthcare outcomes where all parties win and to partnering with local community leaders, police, fire, and EMS to ensure meeting health-related community needs.
Kettering Health’s vision embraces putting the people we serve at the center of everything we do. We strive to create a fulfilling and meaningful work experience for the staff and providers ensure and positive outcomes, patient safety, and help everyone in our community “Be Your Best.”
