2020 Vital for Life Stories

Given our roots and reputation, Summa Health has been vital to the health of Greater Akron for more than 125 years. Vital to our friends and neighbors with life-saving care and caring. Vital to our need to lead, innovate and offer advanced technologies. Vital to improving the health of the entire region, one patient at a time.

“Vital” is the theme of our campaign which emphasizes the specialized care and full scope of resources available such as innovative technologies, broad and unique services, awarding-winning care teams and patient satisfaction.

Each story is explained through the lens of real patients and includes compelling, and perhaps surprising, facts about Summa Health, such as Summa Health is the only place to obtain specific services in our area, how we can treat a heart attack 26 minutes faster than the national average, and how we’re innovating in many areas.

The new campaign includes television, print, billboards, digital, radio and social media content (Summa Health Facebook and Summa Health Blog) which provides deeper educational healthcare information authored by clinical experts.

Please support our Vital campaign by continuing to be a vital asset to Summa Health and our community. Just remember, every act – even the smallest kindness – can be vital to someone.
