As an Integrated Healthcare

Delivery System, Summa Health

System is in an extraordinary

position to be a proactive

participant in the evolution of

healthcare. We are fully committed

to ensuring we are well positioned

for the future and optimistic about

the opportunities that lie ahead.

This period of rapid change also

has been a time of reflection…

to think back on our past and

the promises we’ve made to

our patients, their families, our

communities and employees…and

determine what lessons best guide

us as we move forward.This year,

our annual report is inspired

by Robert Frost’s classic poem,

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy

Evening. Like the narrator, we

take a brief moment to reflect on

our past accomplishments, yet

are acutely aware of how much

remains to be done.

In each area of our organization,

the work continues. From patient

care to research, philanthropy to

medical education, we answer

the call to be servant leaders

who work tirelessly to make a

difference and leave footprints

for others to follow.

Thank you for taking

this journey with us.

Yours in good health,
