Family Supports
Akron Children's touches the lives of thousands of families each year by providing quality, family-centered care to infants, children and teens.
Our mission, however, goes beyond traditional patient care activities. As advocates for children, we strive to enhance the quality of life for all children by keeping them healthy, happy and safe.
We accomplish this mission through an array of programs and outreach activities in collaboration with health care networks, community organizations and businesses at the local, state and national level.
