Dayton, Ohio – The Dayton Dragons and Kettering Health are focusing on the importance of staying active on Sunday, June 28 at 1:05 pm when the Dayton Dragons take on the West Michigan Whitecaps at Day Air Ballpark in the heart of the Water Street District.

Fans are encouraged to arrive at 12 pm for pre-game plaza activities, including photo opportunities, interactive displays, and a chance to explore Kettering Health Sports Medicine vehicles up close. Get hands-on, learn injury prevention tips, and meet the Kettering Health team members who help keep athletes and active individuals at the top of their game.

“It is essential that Dragons players have access to reliable, high-quality care to help them stay healthy and perform at their best,” said Dragons Team President Robert Murphy. “Kettering Health provides exceptional care not only to our team, but our entire community. Their commitment to health and wellness helps keep people informed, active, and thriving both on and off the field.”
