Healing Gardens at Summa Health

Summa Health maintains three healing gardens — therapeutic and natural areas that offer a serene experience for patients, visitors and staff. Each outdoor space features comforting benches and a peaceful respite.

Cancer Institute garden

This healing garden was made possible by a generous gift from Susan G. and David F. Banks, Sr. Located outside the Jean and Milton Cooper Pavilion and the Summa Health Cancer Institute, it provides a beautiful and soothing experience for cancer patients and their families on the Summa Health System — Akron Campus.

Serenity garden 

This healing garden features artwork, flowers, shrubs and small trees and offers a quiet place to reflect and relax on the Summa Health System — Akron Campus. It is located outside the Ann and David Brennan Pavilion.

Barberton garden and fountain

This fountain and healing garden features a plaque honoring Andrew and Elaine Lecon, courtesy of a generous gift by Paul and Kathie (Lecon) Testa. This tranquil space overlooks a park near the Summa Health System — Barberton Campus.
