Q&A With Summa Health Employees

As a Summa Health employee, you can always take pride in knowing that your work directly impacts the health and wellness of our community. But what sets Summa apart is our vision for the future… That’s because at Summa Health, we are transforming the way healthcare is delivered in our region. We’re on a journey toward population health management—a vision focused on providing team-based care that places the patient at the center of everything we do. Under this model, our goals are clear. They include: Improving our patient experience: by improving access to care at the right place at the right time, coordinating care between every patient’s team of caregivers, and improving the quality of each episode of care; Improving the health of our community: by proactively reaching out to patients on an ongoing basis to assess how they are doing and using population health approaches to improve the health of large groups of patients; and, Reducing the total cost of care: by keeping patients as healthy as possible and avoiding wasteful care, like the duplication of services. This strategy forms the foundation of our culture at Summa Health—and our employees are on the front lines of this change. At Summa, we strive to create a team-based workplace environment that helps you deliver on this vision every day. We recognize each employee for their own unique contribution and value the diversity of ideas, backgrounds and beliefs they bring to our organization.
