Helping our community one playhouse at a time

Kyle.Norton
Submitted by Kyle.Norton on

Local nonprofits are leaders in strengthening our community, and Genesis team members take pride in supporting their efforts.

One great example is Project Playhouse. Habitat for Humanity of Southeast Ohio’s Project Playhouse brings sponsors and volunteers together to build playhouses for local families. The playhouses provide children with a safe place to play, dream and feel at home.

Genesis Quality Management team members Maggie Palko, Bailee Hampton, Kimberly Johnson, Dana Woodruff, Heather Hartman, Dee Clapper, Cynthia Lanning and Michelle Huff built a playhouse for a local family in October 2025.

Heather Hartman, R.N., B.S.N., R.N.F.A., Surgical Clinical Reviewer for Genesis Quality Management, shared her team’s excitement about participating in Project Playhouse.

“Our team has looked forward to this project for the past year,” said Heather. “Working alongside our community, we built more than a playhouse. We created a safe, joyful space for a child, strengthened local connections and experienced firsthand the meaningful impact this project can have on a family.”

Submitted by Kyle.Norton on

Genesis Primary Care welcomes Alex K. Kemei, M.D., specializing in internal medicine.

Dr. Kemei supports patients with wellness visits, acute illness care and chronic disease management.

“I love working with patients in small communities,” said Dr. Kemei. “I wanted to join Genesis because it reminds me of the rural area I was raised in.”

Cardio, the necessary evil we love to hate

Cardio has a reputation problem. On one hand, it boosts heart health, improves mood and helps you live longer. On the other hand, it makes you sweaty, breathless and suspicious that time slows down on the treadmill. Let’s see how much you know about this “necessary evil” with a quick quiz.

Mindfulness made simple

emily.griffin
Submitted by emily.griffin on

Mindfulness may sound like a buzzword, but it really comes down to one simple thing, paying attention to what is happening right now. Whether you are sitting at your desk trying to finish a report or washing dishes after dinner, mindfulness helps you slow down and actually enjoy the moment rather than rush through it. According to the National Institutes of Health, mindfulness encompasses techniques such as deep breathing, bringing more attention to your body, mindful eating and simply noticing what is happening around you without judgment.   

Start small on your mindful journey. A great place to begin is your breathing. Close your eyes for a moment and take in a slow breath through your nose, then exhale through your mouth. Repeat this a few times before touching the keyboard or taking a phone call. This simple practice helps you reset and come back to the present moment.   

Once you feel comfortable with breathing, try bringing awareness to everyday routines. Notice the taste and texture of your food during lunch or pay attention to each step you take on your walk around the block.  

Mindfulness also helps with emotional health by strengthening focus and reducing stress. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists mindfulness as one strategy to support emotional well-being, which involves being present and acknowledging thoughts and feelings as they arise and pass.   

At work, take mindful breaks between tasks to recharge and refocus. Stand up, stretch or walk to the water cooler and notice your surroundings rather than thinking about your to-do list. At home, designate a few minutes after dinner to sit quietly and reflect on something you are grateful for. Soon you will find that mindfulness is less about formal practice and more about living fully in each moment.

How to stay healthy when everyone around you is sick

emily.griffin
Submitted by emily.griffin on

It’s that time of year again. Your co-worker is sneezing into the copier, your kids are coughing nonstop, and even your neighbor’s dog looks like it has the sniffles. You, on the other hand, are determined to stay healthy. Consider this your comedic survival guide for staying upright while everyone else is down for the count. 

First, wash your hands like you just cut jalapeños and are about to put in contact lenses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points out that handwashing is one of the best ways to avoid getting sick, since germs spread by touch faster than office gossip. 

Next, stop touching your face. Yes, I know it is hard. A study on the National Library of Medicine showed people touch their faces between 23 and 45 times an hour, which means you are basically inviting germs in for tea and crumpets. 

Sleep is another superpower. According to an article on the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, people who do not get enough sleep may be more likely to catch colds after being exposed to viruses. So, if anyone accuses you of laziness, tell them you are “fortifying your immune system,” and then catch some ZZZ’s.  

Eating healthy matters, too. The Nutrition Source on the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health says a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and plenty of water supports immune function. In other words, now is not the time to live solely on vending machine donuts, no matter how persuasive they look at 3 p.m. 

In short, staying healthy in a sea of sniffles is part science and part willpower. Wash your hands, avoid face touching, get good sleep, eat your veggies and move your body. With these strategies, you just might become the mythical creature everyone envies. The one who makes it through the cold season unscathed.

Submitted by Kyle.Norton on

Genesis HealthCare System was named one of the Most Wired® hospitals of 2025 by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME). This places Genesis in the top 10% of all hospitals in the country utilizing integrated technology for the 10th consecutive year.

Five-minute workouts for busy people

emily.griffin
Submitted by emily.griffin on

If your schedule is booked solid, chances are you’ve told yourself, “I don’t have time to exercise.” But here’s the twist. You do. Science says even short bursts of movement can pay off big. In fact, an article on the Harvard Health website says brief bouts of activity, as little as a few minutes, can add up and improve health. 

So, what can you squeeze into five minutes without scaring your co-workers or toppling your coffee? 

 

1. The office Olympian squat challenge 

Stand up from your chair and squat like you’re about to sit back down but changed your mind. Do this 10–15 times. Not only does this sneak in strength training, but it’s also a graceful way to practice standing up after binge-watching shows later. 

 

2. The kitchen counter pushup

 While your microwave reheats leftovers, do pushups against the counter. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that muscle-strengthening activities are vital for overall health. Plus, you’ll look like you’re inspecting your counter for crumbs. 

 

3. The jumping Jack energy shot 

Got two minutes? Jumping Jacks can get your heart rate up fast. Aerobic activities in short bursts can add up through the week and improve cardiovascular health. For more information, see this article on the American Heart Association website.  

 

4. The desk plank of productivity 

Drop and do a plank for 30–60 seconds. The Mayo Clinic says core strength supports posture and can prevent injuries, including back pain from all that sitting.  

 

5. The walk-and-talk shuffle 

On a phone call? Pace the hallway or your living room. Walking is one of the simplest ways to stay active, according to the National Institutes of Health. The person on the other end never has to know you’re circling the dining table. 

 

The takeaway? You don’t need a gym membership or an open afternoon. All you need is five minutes, and maybe a forgiving pair of pants.
