What matters most

In the last 18 months, Genesis has continued to invest in the latest technology, equipment and facilities. We have updated and doubled our robotic-assisted surgery equipment, implemented additional best-of-class software, opened the Genesis Coshocton Medical Center and expanded our primary care and specialty physician offices.  

All amazing accomplishments.

If asked to pick our most significant achievement, my answer will always be the same. Building and supporting an outstanding team of caregivers. Your neighbors, friends and family members make Genesis what we are, a top 50 heart hospital in the nation and a healthcare system nationally recognized for our high quality, compassionate care.

We are grateful that we can provide our team with innovative technology and modern facilities to perform at their highest levels. However, the skill of our dedicated team members is and always will be the most valuable part of Genesis.

Building the team

While we have been busy building over the last year and a half, we have also added many new physicians. Join us in welcoming five more physicians who are highlighted on the following pages.

Our patients

As always, we highlight some of our recent patients within LiveWell. For the first time in this publication, we also provide a check-up on previous patients to learn how they are doing years after their life-threatening health scares.

Thank you for supporting Genesis and our team.

What matters most.

Genesis HealthCare System is providing an opportunity for community members to purchase a Snow Angel memorial to honor or remember a loved one while giving to a worthy cause.

Sessions are being held to assist patients in choosing alternative plans.

Genesis HealthCare System announced today that it will not accept Anthem Medicare Advantage or Humana Medicare Advantage plans in 2024. This means the entire Genesis HealthCare System, including Genesis Hospital, Genesis Coshocton Medical Center, Genesis Perry County and Genesis Medical Group Physicians will not be in-network with the Anthem or Humana Medicare Advantage plans.

“We simply cannot accept the Anthem Medicare Advantage or Humana Medicare Advantage Plans for 2024,” said Mathew Perry, President and CEO of Genesis HealthCare System. “If you are a current participant in Anthem or Humana Medicare, it is important to consider other choices during open enrollment, which is taking place now. As you review your options, we invite you to consider other health plans that Genesis HealthCare System accepts.” 

Once a year, all Medicare Advantage (MA) Plan members have the opportunity to choose coverage and make sure their doctors and hospital are in-network providers for the upcoming year. It’s called the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP) – and it’s Oct. 15-Dec. 7, 2023.  

There are two ways for patients to seek assistance in evaluating which MA plan is right for them.  

1. Working with an insurance broker to select a plan is one of the best ways. They can help evaluate the patient’s choice to find a plan that meets their unique needs. There is no cost for this service.   

2. Genesis will hold sessions that include an Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) representative to provide information and help you make a choice:

• In Zanesville, join us at North Terrace Church, 1420 Brandywine Blvd., on Wednesday, Oct. 25. 

• In Cambridge, join us at Pritchard Laughlin Civic Center, 7033 Glenn Highway, on Tuesday, Oct. 31.  

• In New Lexington, join us at St. Rose of Lima Parish, 3309 North Main Street, on Thursday, Nov. 2.  

• In Coshocton, join us at Coshocton Village Inn & Suites, 115 N. Water Street, on Monday, Nov. 6.

All sessions start at 9 a.m. and noon each day. Registration is required by going to genesishcs.org/medicare. 

Genesis will accept the following Medicare Advantage Health Plans in 2024: 

• Aetna Medicare 
• Medical Mutual of Ohio 
• Medigold 
• United Healthcare 
• CareSource Medicare Advantage
• The Health Plan Medicare Advantage
• AllWell Buckeye Medicare Advantage
• Valor Health Plan Medicare Advantage

For additional information, call the Genesis Patient Resource Center at 740-454-4335 or 866-270-1944, ext. 4335, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

From the sniffles to the flu, being sick is no fun. Thankfully, our immune system is constantly working to keep us healthy. Are there things we can do to make our immune system stronger? Sadly, the answer is unclear. Research has struggled to consistently find evidence that says we can.
