Compliments and Complaints

You have the right to voice your concerns without compromising your access to care.  You can make a complaint or compliment directly to the hospital by calling the Summa Health Service Excellence Department at (330) 375-6765 or by asking for a supervisor.  You may lodge a complaint with the Ohio Department of Health and/or The Joint Commission directly even if you choose not to use the hospital’s grievance process.  Complaints may be filed with the Ohio Department of Health’s Complaint Unit or The Joint Commission at the following addresses:
