Exploring the Culture of Support and Fulfillment in Pediatric Care

At Akron Children’s, we’re proud of our welcoming culture and inspiring teamwork—but don’t take our word for it. Listen to what our employees have to say.

Meet Jarrod Collingsworth, a manager for the outpatient pulmonary sleep medicine and sleep program. He cites a supportive team and a career ripe with possibility as high points.

"Our teamwork here is like none other I've ever seen,” Jarrod shares. “[There’s] zero drama, getting the job done day in and day out, covering each other for vacations and holidays. It's truly remarkable."

Working in pediatric healthcare at Akron Children’s, there’s a quality of work and a caliber of teams that make the work rewarding for employees. It’s all about the longterm—with health and wellbeing major tenets of our work with kids, it’s also important for our people. Jarrod agrees: "Our culture is about getting the opinions of staff, ensuring work-life balance, and creating environments where our team is happy to come to work. We value their feedback and opinions because we want them to thrive."
