On March 9, 2026, Summa Health dedicated the Wadsworth-Rittman Medical Center Auxiliary legacy wall, honoring decades of service and impact.

What began in 1959 with 13 women supporting Wadsworth Municipal Hospital grew into a lasting legacy. Through gift shop and snack bar proceeds, raffles, festivals and charity events, the Auxiliary funded vital programs like Lifeline, the Bear Project and the Wound Center, along with essential equipment.

Their commitment extended beyond the hospital, supporting local organizations including the Salvation Army, Meals on Wheels and Rittman EMS.

For more than 65 years, the Auxiliary contributed over $1.8 million and nearly 100,000 volunteer hours, leaving a lasting impact on Summa Health and the Wadsworth community.

⚾ Fun Fact: Baseball mascots first appeared in the late 1970s. And they’ve been keeping fans smiling (and moving) ever since.

Keeping the ballpark buzzing takes stamina – on opening day and all season long. Before the gates open, even the RubberDucks mascots warm up.

A proper warm-up helps reduce injury risk and keeps bodies moving safely – on the field, at work and at home. Just a few minutes of stretching can make a difference. 🤸‍♂️💪

Read our blog to warm up like a pro. https://www.summahealth.org/flourish/entries/2023/02/warming-up-before-a-run-or-workout
