Practice The Art Of Puppy Therapy
Not Just Another Day. At Akron Children’s Hospital, we’re proud to be a little different. And for kids, sometimes a cold wet nose and a slobbery puppy kiss can mean as much to the recovery process as the medicine. We believe in providing care that exceeds its clinical definition and lets kids accomplish the most important thing of all – just being kids.
Our environment of family-centered care works to heal the child and family together. It also encourages our staff members to explore all aspects of patient care. As a member of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to work with the latest practices in pediatric care, find room for your career to grow and take on new challenges. It’s that kind of freedom and support that make a career at Akron Children’s Hospital anything but ordinary.

Our Community.
The relaxed, friendly community of Akron, Ohio is celebrated for its spirit of innovation and its varied educational, recreational and cultural offerings. Just a short drive away from the shores of Lake Erie, it offers easy access to Cleveland’s professional sports and nightlife, while providing all the comforts of an exceptional suburban lifestyle.
As a major U.S. hub for polymer research and development, Akron is home to some of today’s most important aerospace, metal, plastic and chemical manufacturers. Industrial global leaders
and small-town retail operations alike coexist to create a unique mix of opportunities and economic stability.
Residents here enjoy four seasons of outdoor fun and recreation as well as centers of culture and history. Outdoor enthusiasts can hike and bike in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, take a trip on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and then check out an outdoor concert at Blossom Music Center. Those looking for more metropolitan fare can experience the wonders of the National Inventors Hall of Fame or spend an evening at the Carousel Dinner Theater (America’s largest). The excitement is continued in the city’s universities, with the University of Akron serving as the home to the Ohio Ballet, and the city development projects such as the new baseball stadium of the Akron Aeros (the Cleveland Indians AA affiliate).
