Copley Police are investigating an incident involving the alleged sharing of an inappropriate image after a woman reported concerns about her safety and her family.
According to a police report filed on October 18, officers contacted the woman after she traveled to her parents’ home in another state.
She told police that she and her family members allegedly began receiving text messages from Vivek Bhalla shortly after her arrival.
Bhalla is the president of the Summa Health Group.
She told police she left her residence out of fear for her safety.
Police said he allegedly sent an inappropriate image of her to multiple people, accompanied by a caption that implied the image was associated with her.
Officers informed her that the act violated the law.
Court records say Bhalla was arrested and charged with dissemination of an image of another person. He posted bond on $5,000.
In 2021, Bhalla was promoted to President of Summa Health Group, leading a network of more than 300 physicians.
He is not the president or CEO of the Summa Health System, who oversees the operations of the entire hospital network.
