Trying to use 'pairwise buffer' and 'summarize within' tools to display only the summarized features within the buffer zone

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I'm new to ArcGIS Pro and could use some help.

I have 5 feature layers on my map. I've created a model to create a buffer around the features within 1 of the layers.

I want to summarize the other 4 features occurring within the buffer zone. That's easy enough with the summarize within tool, but how do I create a new feature layer that actually displays the features from the 4 layers that lie within each buffer zone?? I want the model to essentially filter out all the other features that aren't within a buffer zone in the display, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this.

An illustrative example for more context:

Feature Layer 1 = 10 hospital locations
Feature Layer 2 = Locations of automobile accidents involving pedestrians
Goal = Use pairwise buffer + summarize within to identify and display all accidents from Feature Layer 2 that occurred within 10 miles of each hospital in Feature Layer 1, without displaying any accidents in the output layer that didn't occur within 10 miles.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you @DanPatterson . For others who may find this helpful, I was able to use Dan's suggestion to create an output layer with my desired features. I was able to use a simple arcpy script to copy my desired features with the distance threshold.
