[August 12, 2011] KHN plants Austin foothold Tweet Aug 12, 2011 (Dayton Daily News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- MIAMI TWP., Montgomery County -- Kettering Health Network is locating 60 jobs at Austin Landing by the end of this year. The jobs are in three areas: human resources, corporate integrity and support staff for Kettering Physician Network. Kettering Health Network, which employs about 9,500 people from Grandview Medical Center down the Interstate 75 corridor to Fort Hamilton Hospital, said the location is centrally located and "convenient for the geographic scope of our facilities." The offices are on the second floor at 10050 Innovation Drive. KHN is "busting at the seams" at certain locations, prompting a relocation of some jobs from the Kettering Medical Center campus, administrative offices at the Sycamore Medical Center campus, and other locations, KHN spokesman Bob Jackson said. Some of the 60 jobs are new, but Jackson couldn't immediately say how many on Thursday. Kettering Health Network also owns more than 40 acres of land north of Austin Landing and east of Interstate 75. It purchased the land -- once owned by Mead Corp. -- from MW Custom Papers, LLC in December 2006 for nearly $8 million, according to Montgomery County real estate records. That site had been considered for a proton therapy center that Kettering Medical Center plans to build as a joint venture with San Francisco-based American Shared Hospital Services. Kettering Medical Center recently said it is almost certain to locate the proton therapy center on 34 acres across Southern Boulevard from the main hospital in Kettering.
