“Tackling healthcare disparities is a community priority, and we are most effective when we are collaborating and leveraging each other’s strengths.” — Theresa Carter, Akron General Medical Center Board, Past President
A Vital Role for Donors
As a nonprofit organization, Cleveland Clinic relies on philanthropy as a crucial
link between current success and future medical breakthroughs. Operating income alone cannot support all needs at all facilities and philanthropy fuels critical patient programs, capital priorities and research efforts.
Gifts of all sizes matter here.
100% of contributions to Akron General stay local to make a local impact. But
as an international healthcare system, we learn from each other. Gifts to Akron General have not only the intended local impact but can also influence patient care programs, discoveries and innovations beyond Summit County, changing outcomes for patients and communities at Cleveland Clinic locations around the world. And programs, training and care supported by donors in other parts of Cleveland Clinic can translate to our care for Akron neighbors as well.
Outright cash donations today, pledges that are paid over time and planned gifts are all important for launching and sustaining the community programs and initiatives addressed in this brochure.
We invite you to join us in our Neighbor-to-Neighbor campaign and support the effort to bring lifesaving, and life changing, world-class healthcare to all of our neighbors in Summit County.
