Summa is inspired by the inherent philanthropic belief that we can have a transformational impact on the lives of those we serve. Our community benefit report illustrates only a portion of Summa's philanthropic commitment to Northeast Ohio. Our community health programs, community-building efforts and charity care are all focused on stimulating better health in Northeast Ohio by emphasizing wellness and prevention.

 

Summa Health partners with Summit County Public Health (SCPH) and the Summit Coalition for Community Health Improvement (SCCHI) to conduct the  Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). 

 

The purpose of this CHNA is to improve the health of our community. The information presented in these reports also will act as a resource for other community groups working toward improving the health of the community. In addition, they will fulfill the CHNA requirements established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for the hospital facilities listed.
