Bouncing Back to Health

Laura Walker eagerly made her first attempt jumping on a trampoline at age 29. Unfortunately, she tumbled out of control, severely injuring her knee. As a result, Laura spent two decades in agonizing pain.

Then a chance encounter and recommendation for Corey Jackson, D.O., changed her life. Dr. Jackson is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with the Genesis Orthopedic Group.

Knee injury worsens


“It was my first time on a trampoline and my last time off,” Laura said. As years passed, arthritis aggravated the injury, and she suffered from an excruciating two-inch bone spur. Laura relied on her other knee for support, which eventually resulted in arthritis as well. Ultimately, the pain was too great for Laura to continue an 18-year career at a local restaurant in Cambridge, Ohio, her hometown. She is presently a contract driver for a local transport agency serving non-emergency medical patients.

“I learned to live with the pain,” said Laura, now in her late 40s. “I spoke with several surgeons who insisted I was too young for the surgery.” One day, Laura mentioned her situation to a transport patient experiencing similar symptoms. The patient enthusiastically recommended Dr. Jackson. “I called his office that day,” Laura said.

Dr. Jackson to the rescue


“Admittedly, Laura is much younger than most patients who require such an extensive surgery,” Dr. Jackson said. “The combination of the injury and time caused her to have a severely afflicted knee with severe osteoarthritis.”

Osteoarthritis is the most common reason for knee replacement surgery. Arthritis causes the cartilage to wear away, exposing the bone in the joint, resulting in extreme pain.

“Our technologically advanced knee surgery is a solution for patients suffering from osteoarthritis,” said Dr. Jackson. The total joint replacement surgery involves removing a small amount of the bone and resurfacing it so patients can be pain-free. “Total joint replacement surgery has proven to be an incredible medical breakthrough,” Dr. Jackson said.

Genesis offers the latest in technology to provide the best in joint replacement surgery regionally. “Our specially trained surgeons and advanced providers provide expertise for patients like Laura to get them back to enjoying life,” Dr. Jackson said. “Plus, our advanced minimally invasive technologies help patients recover faster.”

“I had confidence in Dr. Jackson,” Laura said. “He explained every part of the surgery and recovery clearly and made me feel at ease.”

Life-changing surgery


“The principle goal of this surgery is for patients to walk pain-free,” Dr. Jackson said. “Laura was in misery. She couldn’t
straighten her knee, and every step caused discomfort. Now she is pain-free.”

Laura appreciates Dr. Jackson’s compassionate care that enables her to walk, run and sleep at night without pain. “The knee replacement surgery has been life-changing. I am so fortunate that I found Dr. Jackson.”

Laura Walker severely injured her knee at age 29. She spent two decades in agonizing pain.

Genesis Recognized for Efforts in Supporting Breastfeeding

Earned 5 Stars from Ohio First Steps for Healthy Babies

 

Zanesville, Ohio (June 24, 2021) – Genesis HealthCare System has been recognized with a 5-star rating for its promotion and support of successful breastfeeding by the Ohio First Steps for Healthy Babies program. The program is a joint effort of the Ohio Hospital Association and the Ohio Department of Health. Genesis earned this recognition by achieving the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding as defined by the World Health Organization and Baby-Friendly USA.

“Our team is honored to receive this recognition of our efforts to ensure babies have a healthy start to life through successful breastfeeding,” said Carolyn Blenis, Director of Genesis Women’s Services. “We understand the support a new mother receives from our staff can impact her decision to breastfeed. Increasing the number of breastfed newborns can lead to a decrease in future health conditions such as asthma, diabetes and obesity.”

The Ohio First Steps for Healthy Babies is a voluntary breastfeeding designation program that recognizes maternity centers in Ohio that promote, protect and support breastfeeding. A star is awarded for every two steps achieved in the program, with five stars being the highest level of achievement.
