Summa Health is an integrated healthcare delivery system headquartered in Akron, Ohio, operating two main hospitals, 20 health centers, and its own health plan (SummaCare), serving over one million patients annually across a five-county area in Northeast Ohio. The system offers comprehensive acute, emergency, outpatient, and long-term care services spanning primary care through specialty disciplines, and is currently undergoing an AI-driven transformation after joining General Catalyst's Health Assurance Transformation Company (HATCo) in 2025.
