What started as a routine gynecology appointment turned into a life-changing diagnosis for Mallory when unexpected symptoms led to the discovery of early-stage endometrial cancer. Thanks to the quick action of her care team, she moved from diagnosis to surgery in just days.

Today, after a minimally invasive robotic hysterectomy, Mallory is cancer-free and looking ahead to new adventures with family and friends. She credits the compassionate, coordinated care she received from Dr. Pamela Drummond-Ray, Dr. Stephen Andrews and the entire Summa Health team for helping her navigate one of life's most challenging moments with confidence and hope.

Summa Health is making it easier for patients to access advanced diagnostic imaging close to home with the addition of mobile CT and MRI units. These mobile imaging vehicles help expand access to important services in the communities we serve, reducing the need for some patients to travel farther for care.

The units travel on a weekly schedule to Barberton, Green, Medina and Stow, offering CT and MRI services with the same advanced technology and expert care patients expect from Summa Health. This approach supports timely diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up care while providing a more convenient option for patients and providers.

⚾ Fun Fact: Crowded ballparks can feel much warmer than the actual temperature due to trapped body heat, sun-soaked concrete and limited airflow.

From the stadium stands to your own backyard, hydration is your best defense against the heat. Drinking enough water does more than quench thirst – it regulates your body temperature and prevents "inning nine" fatigue. ☀️💧🥤

Stay cool and fueled with Summa Health by your side. 👉 Learn more: https://www.summahealth.org/blog/entries/2023/01/7-common-myths-on-healthy-hydration-debunked
