Our history
A physician led network built to strengthen independent care
Unity Health Network was founded in 2002 on the belief that independent physicians could achieve more together than they could alone. Led by Dr. Robert Kent, a small group of physicians created a collaborative network designed to preserve independence while improving efficiency, support services and patient care.
What began with three physicians and their staff has grown into a thriving network supported by more than 400 healthcare professionals who share a commitment to delivering high-quality care throughout Northeast Ohio.

This coordinated model has helped reduce avoidable hospitalizations, improve preventive care and support healthier communities across Northeast Ohio.
