Dr. Joseph Varley,
Summa St. Thomas will no longer house health services starting later month, but further details haven’t been released, Varley said.A free ribbon cutting and community open house celebrating the new behavioral health pavilion is 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, at 45 Arch Street, Akron. Activities will include tours of the new pavilion, food, raffles and more.Juve Family Behavioral Health Pavilion adds to Northern Ohio hospitals’ efforts to improve mental health services.
However, the move is creating additional capacity to serve more patients, Varley said. The old hospital had double rooms, but because some patients weren’t feeling well enough for roommates, often five to 10 beds were not available for use at any given time, he said. The Juve Family Behavioral Health Pavilion honors Northeast Ohio philanthropists Sharon and Richard Juve and their $10 million gift to Summa. Rick Juve is the chairman of Americhem, a global polymer headquartered in Cuyahoga Falls.The new pavilion was built with behavioral healthcare and healing specifically in mind, Varley said. Hospital floors and private patient rooms provide privacy, safety and security.
