Summa Health at Home and Hospice

Summa Health is one of the largest integrated healthcare delivery systems in the state of Ohio. Formed in 1989 with the merger of Akron City and St. Thomas Hospitals, this system encompasses a network of hospitals, community-based health centers, a health plan known as SummaCare, a multi-specialty group practice, an accountable care organization, and research and medical education facilities. Headquartered in Akron, Ohio, Summa Health serves more than one million patients each year across a five-market region that includes Summit, Medina, Portage, Stark, and Wayne counties. The organization employs over 8,000 people and includes nearly 1,000 credentialed physicians, making it the largest employer in Summit County.

Summa Health is nationally renowned for its excellence in patient care and for its exceptional approaches to healthcare delivery. The system’s clinical services are consistently recognized by prestigious organizations, including U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center, which has granted it Magnet status for nursing excellence. In October 2025, Summa Health was acquired by HATCo (Health Assurance Transformation Corporation), a subsidiary of the venture capital firm General Catalyst, transitioning the organization to a for-profit model. This strategic partnership aims to drive innovation and technological advancement in healthcare delivery, ensuring that Summa Health remains a strong, resilient pillar of the community for generations to come. The organization is committed to providing the highest quality, compassionate care to its patients and members while contributing to a healthier community.
