Communities in the vicinity of the Union Hospital campus are extremely proud of their very high quality educational institutions. We are home to a campus of Kent State University, where students earn associate, bachelor and masters degrees. We also have an excellent collection of public and private schools, and a highly acclaimed vocational training center.
Dozens of churches representing all denominations meet residents' spiritual needs. Recreational programs for both youths and adults are readily available year-round at our modern YMCA, and we are well known for our network of well-tended public parks, swimming pools and playgrounds. Several private health clubs, a country club and a yacht club are popular with residents.
Overall, the community prospers from a balanced mix of families supported by professional, commercial and industrial careers. Our economy benefits from a growing industrial base, thanks to a collection of active industrial parks including a new site created especially for 26 developing high tech industries.
