Health system officials said the UH Fairlawn Health Center offers urgent care, radiology and lab services, as well as primary care, rheumatology, colorectal surgery, cardiology, pediatrics and pediatric specialty care, including endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology and sports medicine. Services began this month.

With an investment of more than $4 million, UH transformed 35,000 square feet of an existing office building into the new health center, located just off Interstate 77 at state Route 18.

This new health center enables us to bring our services together in a location that creates greater access for residents of Fairlawn and the Greater Akron region, said Richard Hanson, president of UH Community Hospitals and Ambulatory Network. Additionally, a patients care at UH Fairlawn Health Center will be fully integrated and coordinated with the expert care provided throughout the University Hospitals health system.

With the addition of UH Fairlawn Health Center, UH now has 15 hospitals, 29 health centers and more than 100 physician locations throughout Northeast Ohio. UH also has outpatient health centers in Wadsworth, Medina and Hudson.
