We want you to know that quality, while important when selecting products and services – such as cars, cell phones, Internet providers and restaurants - should also be important when selecting healthcare. Yes, healthcare.

You trust Akron General with your health. Why? Because with every dose of medication, with every test, procedure and surgery, we stand behind the belief that quality is more than a concept, it’s the only way to serve our patients.

We also believe that providing a quality healthcare environment means going above and beyond to make sure that our patients are cared for in a safe environment, our employees are well-trained, and that our patients are satisfied with their care.

These are just several reasons why the Leapfrog Group has named Akron General Medical Center among the nation's 50 top hospitals for hospital quality and patient safety. Akron General was the only Akron area hospital to be named to this important list.

In addition to this designation by the Leapfrog Group, Akron General has been named among one of America's Most Wired & Most Wireless Hospitals by Hospitals & Health Networks Magazine. Again in 2007, Akron General Medical Center was Akron's only healthcare provider to receive The National Research Corporation's (NRC) Consumer Choice Award.

There’s not one perfect way to compare the overall quality of hospitals, but there are certain measures – both customer satisfaction and specific clinical benchmarks - that can be helpful when you need to choose the care that’s right for you.
