Ark team members recently traded server racks for stadium seats to join Akron Children’s Hospital at their annual Information Services Department (ISD) picnic. Held at Credit Union Park – the iconic home of the Akron RubberDucks – the afternoon was a celebration of the IT professionals who keep the hospital’s critical care systems running around the clock.

The Team Behind the Technology

While doctors and nurses are the visible heroes of pediatric care, the ACH Information Services Department provides the essential digital foundation that makes modern medicine possible. The ISD team includes both technical staff and leadership roles that ensure the smooth operation of clinical, administrative, and patient-facing systems. 

A Shared Mission

Building reliable data infrastructure is about more than just cooling and power; it is about supporting the mission-critical workloads that rely on those systems. Seeing the entire ACH ISD team gathered together, highlighted the deep culture of collaboration that drives Akron Children’s Hospital forward.

For Ark, spending the day at the ballpark was a chance to celebrate a shared mission. When IT infrastructure works, hospitals can focus on what matters most: delivering world-class care to kids. Ark is incredibly proud to partner with the entire ACH organization, supporting the unseen technical heroes who make that care possible every single day.
