Kettering Health proposed as sole corporate member of Knox Community Hospital

A nonprofit combination proposed by Kettering Adventist Healthcare, which uses the Kettering Health name, would place Knox Community Hospital under Kettering Health as its only corporate member, according to a notice published by Knox Pages.

The notice states that the two Ohio nonprofit corporations signed a definitive Member Substitution Agreement on October 29, 2026. The transaction is expected to close January 1, 2027. Knox Community Hospital, which the notice describes as operating a hospital plus outpatient and physician practice sites in Knox County, would continue operations there after closing.

The notice also says the proposed combination was submitted to the Office of the Ohio Attorney General on October 29, 2026. It cites Section 109.34 of the Ohio Revised Code and describes the deal as a nonprofit combination under that section.

The notice does not include financial terms, a purchase price, or details about regulatory review beyond the attorney general submission. It presents the combination as proposed and the closing date as expected, not completed. The source is a public notice, not an independent report on the transaction.
