Akron Children’s to provide specialty care at MetroHealth

Doctors from Akron Children’s Hospital will begin providing specialty pediatric care at MetroHealth System‘s main Cleveland campus in January.

Akron Children’s specialists will focus on the areas of pediatric cardiology, gastroenterology, cancer and blood disorders, and critical care.

MetroHealth’s pediatric specialists will continue to provide care in a number of other areas, including neonatology, nephrology, pulmonology and rheumatology, according to a joint statement from the two hospitals.

Akron Children’s has similar affiliation agreements with several Ohio health organizations, including Aultman Hospital in Canton and St. Elizabeth Health System in Youngstown. The MetroHealth affiliation will be Akron Children’s fourth location in Cuyahoga County.
