About Us

Summa Health is an integrated healthcare delivery system. Now, as part of HATCo, Summa Health is embarking on a long-term vision to create a new, more proactive, accessible and affordable system of community-based, lifelong healthcare.

One of Ohio’s Largest Integrated Healthcare Delivery Systems 

Summa Health – headquartered in Akron, Ohio – is one of Ohio’s largest integrated healthcare delivery systems, encompassing two main hospitals, 20 health centers, and a dedicated team of over 8,500 employees and nearly 700 employed physicians and advanced practice providers. With a legacy spanning more than 130 years, Summa Health has built a foundation of excellence in the Greater Akron region. 

In 2025, Summa Health entered a groundbreaking new chapter by joining the Health Assurance Transformation Company (HATCo), a platform founded by General Catalyst to redesign the future of healthcare. A first-of-its-kind acquisition, Summa Health and HATCo are working to create a next-generation health system that honors our history while aggressively pursuing innovation. Our goal is to replace fragmented care with a proactive, lifelong healthcare model that empowers patients and improves outcomes. 

Together, we are embarking on a long-term vision to move beyond traditional sick care toward a proactive, tech-enabled system of health assurance. We aren’t just preparing for the future of healthcare—we are building it. By joining our team, you will help us leverage innovative technology and sustainable business practices to eliminate barriers to care, creating a modern blueprint for healthcare delivery that serves as a model for the rest of the nation.

Together, Summa Health encompasses a network of:

Unwavering Commitment to Quality

Providing superior, multi-specialty patient care, medical research and continuing medical education, Summa Health is consistently ranked one of the best healthcare providers in the country. We even have been honored with the Healthgrades America’s 50 Best Hospitals Award™, which places Summa Health among the top two percent of all hospitals for clinical care and patient outcomes.  
 

Service Throughout the Region

Summa Health provides services to a five-county area – Summit, Medina, Portage, Stark and Wayne – within Northeast Ohio. With medical services organized under the umbrella of Summa Health System, we have served millions of patients in comprehensive acute, critical, emergency, urgent care, outpatient and long-term/home-care settings.

A Wide Variety of Medical Services

All of our services include integrated and coordinated care in an effort to positively impact the health of our entire community.


Full Continuum of Care

Summa Health is committed to offering a full continuum of compassionate coordinated care. Our services follow patients from preventive care through medical incidents, rehabilitation and maintenance. With care being coordinated among all of our providers – primary physicians, surgeons, therapists, etc. – conditions have a greater chance of being detected and treated earlier, which typically result in better outcomes for our patients.
