Partnering with our community for better health

Healthy communities start with the people who live there. Across Southeastern Ohio, residents care deeply about the health of their families and neighbors.

To strengthen these efforts, Genesis HealthCare System partners with the Southeastern Ohio Health Improvement Collaborative, which includes the Zanesville-Muskingum, Perry, Noble and Morgan County Health Departments. Together, we use community feedback to identify and prioritize the health needs that matter most.

Listening to our communities

In 2024, residents, community partners and public health leaders participated in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) survey to identify the top health needs in our region. Their input guided the development of our 2025–2027 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The plan focuses on the health needs that matter most in Southeastern Ohio.

Genesis priorities for 2025 to 2027

Based on this feedback, we identified three priority areas where we can work together to make the greatest impact:

  • Behavioral health

  • Chronic disease

  • Access to healthcare

These priorities guide our efforts to build a healthier, better future for Southeastern Ohio.
