Kettering Physicians Network

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kettering Physicians Network with an unusual package. ‘What’s in here?’ he asked the receptionist, pointing to a large box marked ‘Top Secret.’ The receptionist shrugged and said, 'I’ve no idea, but it says “Open only in case of emergency.”' Just as she finished speaking, a regular patient walked in complaining about his cold. The delivery guy looked at each other, grinned, and opened the box—revealing a giant jar of cough syrup.'

2. One day, as a nurse was checking in patients, she overheard one regular muttering under his breath: ‘Why do they always play that same old song on repeat?’ Curious, she peered into the waiting room and saw everyone humming along happily to some obscure tune. She asked a nearby patient what it was, only for them to reply, “Oh, that? It’s just our secret song.” Finally, someone from reception joined in, whispering, 'Maybe it's because Dr. Kettering loves this song so much.' And thus began an urban legend: whenever anyone mentioned the hospital's playlist, everyone would smile knowingly—because, who knows, maybe there really is a doctor with impeccable taste in music.

3. In the dead of night, a neighbor noticed something peculiar outside the Kettering Physicians Network building. A faint humming sound echoed through the quiet streets, growing louder each minute. Curious, the neighbor approached closer and saw an old delivery driver fumbling with his keys. ‘Must’ve left my headlights on again,’ he muttered sheepishly. The humming stopped as soon as he unlocked the door, and everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief—except for the poor guy who had to explain it away at the next staff meeting.

4. At midnight, a security guard patrolled the empty halls when he heard soft whispers coming from behind a closed door. Curious, he opened the door and saw only shadows dancing on the wall. Suddenly, an old doctor’s voice echoed: ‘Young man, are you sure you locked up everything?’ The guard laughed nervously, realizing it was just an ancient recording system checking if all was well. From then on, everyone joked that Kettering had its very own ghostly receptionist.’
