For nearly 130 years, Summa Health has delivered on its promise of providing high-quality care to all those in need, regardless of their ability to pay. Today, we continue to build on that legacy with the construction of the Juve Family Behavioral Health Pavilion, a new, 60-bed inpatient and outpatient facility on the Akron Campus opening in January 2023. The Juve Family Behavioral Health Pavilion is the capstone of our commitment to caring for the whole you.
