For over 40 years, Dr. Fitz has cared for Akron Children’s Hospital’s adolescent patients, tirelessly building the foundation for our adolescent services. Each day he advocates for adolescents to get the confidential and nonjudgmental care they need to develop into functional adults within the community.
He has served the hospital in many capacities, including Medical Staff President, and has been a mentor to medical students and providers at all levels. Working in the community, Dr. Fitz has provided medical care to Summit County’s most vulnerable youth and helped lead an after-school program providing life skills to teens.
His compassion for patients and families is reflected in the grateful comments of those for whom he’s provided care over the years, including multiple families who have turned to him for three generations. Dr. Fitz will always be remembered for the lives he has touched, both in and outside of the hospital.
