Summa Foundation

Telehealth continues to be a growing component of convenient and efficient healthcare. With the support of the Walter W. Born Foundation, our Virtual Nursing program is helping to enhance the patient experience through secure video technology.

With this program, Virtual Nurses work alongside the patient’s bedside care team to provide extra support, communication and expert guidance. We are grateful that through the generosity of the Walter W. Born Foundation, we can ensure continued improvement in expert care, safety and satisfaction.

Born Foundation; and Jessica Hudson, president of Summa Foundation and chief development officer at Summa Health.

Our nurses are vital in providing compassionate care to our patients, and the support they receive can have a lasting impact for years to come. We are grateful for the unwavering support our nurses have received from the Women’s Board of Summa Health through their nursing scholarships. With their generosity, the future of nursing shines brighter each day.

Grateful Patient Day is here — a special time to say “thank you” to the caregivers who go above and beyond every day. 💙

If a Summa Health professional has touched your life, consider honoring them with a gift made in their name. Your gratitude not only celebrates their compassion but also helps support the incredible work they do for patients and families across our community.
