Inventors from Dayton are responsible for a wide range of ideas that have changed the world. At one time Dayton was known as the city of a Thousand Factories. James Ritty’s invention of the cash register led to NCR. Kettering’s automobile self-starter led to Delco. Thomas Midgley’s leaded gasoline led to Ethyl Corporation. And the Wright Brothers’ airplane…well that led to nearly everything else. Many creative minds from Dayton shaped the world we live in today.   

Matt Wahrhaftig will provide a look into how the Kettering Health Foundation is driving innovation and improving lives right here in our communities. In this brief overview, Matt will highlight how charitable giving is fueling groundbreaking advancements in patient care, including two remarkable technologies: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Ion Robotic Bronchoscopy.

These aren't just medical buzzwords—they're real tools making real differences for patients in our region. Come hear how generosity is shaping the future of health, and why the most exciting medical breakthroughs might be happening closer to home than you think.
