Dr. Beth Ann Baker, MD

I grew up in Ohio, where I received both my undergraduate and Medical Doctor degree from Case Western Reserve University. After graduation, I embarked on my residency at the University Hospitals of Cleveland, and also spent a few years teaching at my alma mater within the Department of Neurology, which first sparked my passion for neuroscience. I later joined a private neurology practice in Akron, and concurrently served as Director of Ohio Sleep Disorder Centers, Director of Cerebrovascular Medicine at Summa Health System and volunteered at the Akron Free Clinic.

My interests lie primarily in stroke prevention, diagnosis and care; the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis; and management of sleep disorders. I spend much of my free time conducting research and lecturing in my field. I am on the Board of Trustees of the American Heart Association, and I also serve as Co-Director of Operation Stroke Summit County of the American Stroke Association.

Outside of work, I enjoy …spending time with my family: my wife Dianne and our three children. We love the outdoors, and are often found fishing in the summer and snow machining in the winter. We also love to travel, whether it’s throughout Alaska or all over the world.
