I've delivered all three of my children at Summa Akron City Hospital and this is my most
recent, this is Colin, he is almost six months old. I never knew what I was having, so to
hear what the baby is, and then hear their cry, it's the best sound you can hear. It
actually finally puts a face to what you've been feeling move for the last ten months,
and to hold them in your arms instead of feeling them kick, there's nothing better than that
feeling.
There are many reasons why expectant moms choose to give birth at Summa Akron City Hospital.
With one of the few level 3 prenatal centers for high risk pregnancies in the region, and
a special care facility staffed by Akron Children's hospital Neonatologists, Summa Akron City
Hospital is one of the safest hospitals in the region to give birth. The mother baby
unit at Summa Akron City Hospital features 18 newly renovated private suites. Decorated
in soothing colors, each spacious suite provides a relaxing spa-like experience, free wi-fi,
and includes an in-suite ceramic tile shower.
There are plenty of birth options from which to choose, including hydrotherapy soaking tubs, to help mothers
relax, and to reduce discomfort during labor, birthing balls, and more. Visitors can await
the arrival of the newest member of the family in our mother baby unit's comfortable waiting
area.
The rooms here at Summa are very modern, they're very top of the line, it makes you feel like
you're just at home after having a baby. They're warm and inviting to the family members that
came in to visit, and you didn't feel like you were staying in a hospital.
Summa provides extra support for new parents, including breastfeeding advice from a certified
lactation specialist, child birth and childcare education classes, a sibling program, and
more.
After I'd had the baby, I was able to take advantage of and use the services of the lactation
consulting that was offered here at Summa. I was able to email them, or call them, with
any questions that I had, and they guided me along the way with nursing after delivery.
I had a great experience all three times around giving birth here at Summa. They not only
took care of me, but my husband, extended family, and my new baby.
