Summa stops
heart attacks
26 minutes
faster than
the national
standard.
During a heart attack, every minute costs more
heart muscle. That's why Summa has dramatically
cut the time it takes to stabilize a patient in our ERs,
safely transport them to a Summa cath lab,
and unblock their coronary artery. In fact,
Summa Health System includes the only hospital
in Akron or Cleveland to earn AHA designation as a
Mission: Lifeline® Heart Attack Receiving Center.
If we can treat the worst emergency this fast,
imagine how well we can treat yours.
