Akron, Ohio-based Summa Health and General Catalyst’s Health Assurance Transformation Corporation (HATCo) have announced the signing of a Letter of Intent for HATCo’s planned acquisition of Summa Health. This union aims to establish a transformative healthcare system prioritizing affordable, equitable, and community-based health services. Utilizing Summa’s well-established healthcare system, and HATCo’s vision for health assurance, this partnership seeks to innovate through technology, enhance provider and patient experiences, and facilitate valuable medical education and training. The acquisition allows Summa Health to increase its investment in the region, focusing on social determinants of health and continuing its charity care commitment. This strategic move looks to transition Summa Health into a profitable organization while remaining true to its foundational social objectives. A community foundation will also form as a result of this transaction to further Summa Health’s mission. With a planned definitive agreement in the coming months, pending regulatory approval, Summa Health is poised to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HATCo, promising growth and greater access to healthcare for the communities it serves.
