Helping Students Sew Up
a Future Career ?

In 2015 Summa Health began offering a hands-on medical exploratory outreach with a group of the Akron Public Schools.   Since then, Summa Health's efforts have expanded to include more students from Akron Public Schools and to include additional health systems throughout Greater Akron.

That initial program has evolved into the Future Healthcare Leaders' Summit.   This year's demonstration was held at the University of Akron.

One of the doctors participating in this year's outreach is Summa neurosurgeon and East High grad, Dr. Aaron Palmer.

Here is his story as appearing in cleveland.com, and here is a report from Channel 5 News.
