Keep your feet and toes in tip-top shape

Your feet carry you everywhere. Make sure you give them the love they deserve. Here are some easy tips from the American Academy of Dermatology to care for your feet and prevent some of the most common issues.  

 

Wear shoes that fit properly  

Wearing the right pair of shoes goes a long way to prevent problems like corns and blisters. When choosing your shoes, you want to make sure they aren’t too loose or too tight. Get your feet measured to ensure you have the perfect fit. Want more tips for choosing the right shoes? We’ve got you covered.  

Trim your toenails  

If your toenails are too long, it can also cause corns. It can also lead to ingrown toenails, which can be painful. Keep your toenails short by trimming them regularly. Trim your toenails by cutting them straight across. Make sure to sanitize your nail tools after use.  

Moisturize your feet after bathing  

One of the easiest ways to deal with dry or cracked heels is to moisturize them. Instead of applying it on dry skin, apply the cream after your shower or bath when your feet are still damp to lock in the moisture. Look for moisturizers with 10-25% urea, alpha hydroxy acid, or salicylic acid.  

Wear shower shoes or sandals in areas like gyms, locker rooms and pools  

Spending time in humid environments like spas and locker rooms can increase your risk for nail fungus and athlete’s foot. Wearing flip-flops or shower shoes instead of walking around barefoot can keep your feet safe.  

Keep a clean, fresh pair of socks  

No one likes the feeling of wet socks, but worse than that, excess moisture can lead to nail fungus. Change your socks after working out or doing yard work. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also keep your socks fresh longer.  

If you have any questions or concerns about the health of your feet, contact your primary care provider or dermatologist.

In addition to rating hospitals, Fortune Magazine and PINC AI also rate the Top 50 Heart Hospitals because heart disease is the deadliest thing facing adults in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds.  

 

The seriousness of heart disease is also why, with your support, Genesis HealthCare System established the Heart & Vascular Institute. We adhere to the highest standards when recruiting physicians, surgeons and team members. We continually adopt proven new procedures and offer several minimally invasive options for common heart-related ailments.

 

Between the hundreds of team members who support our Heart & Vascular Institute and the thousands of community members who trust us with their health, we have the honor of being a Top 50 Heart Hospital for the second year in a row.

  • Higher 30-day survival rates for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF) and CABG patients (0.3 to 0.7% higher).

  • Lower 30-day readmission rates for AMI, HF and CABG patients (0.4 to 0.8% points lower).

Submitted by emily.griffin on

Genesis HealthCare System is celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Genesis Coshocton Medical Center (GCMC). Opened on April 3, 2023, the GCMC is continuing Genesis’ mission of providing compassionate, exceptional and affordable healthcare services in the Coshocton area.

“Since we opened our new GCMC, one year ago, the entire Genesis team has dedicated itself to providing the highest quality patient care and service to the residents of Coshocton,” said Matthew Perry, Genesis President and CEO. “The positive response and feedback we have received from the community has been extraordinary. We are very grateful for all the support.”

Recently, Professional Research Consultants (PRC), an independent, national survey organization, awarded the GCMC with several patient satisfaction accomplishments. The Emergency Department (ED) staff received an Award of Distinction for Excellent Performance for scoring at the 100th percentile for patient experience. The center’s Overnight Observation Unit, Surgery and Imaging departments each received PRC’s 5-Star awards. All of the departments earned high patient satisfaction scores, including Therapies, Laboratory, Cardiac Diagnostics and Respiratory Therapy.

In its first year, the GCMC provided exceptional care to 56,185 patient encounters from March 20, 2023 to March 20, 2024. Other notable accomplishments include:

  • Patients waited an average of 13 minutes to be seen by a physician in the ED upon arrival compared to the national average of 145 minutes.
  • There were 15,835 patients seen in the ED with a 109-minute average total length of stay compared to the national average of 143 minutes.
  • 1,186 patients had procedures in Outpatient Surgery.
  • 20,421 patients had imaging tests performed.
  • 7,565 patients received physical or occupational therapy.
  • 28,769 patients saw Genesis providers in Coshocton County.
  • 3,067 patients were seen in Heart & Vascular Diagnostics.

Prostate cancer screening can save your life

emily.griffin
Submitted by emily.griffin on

According to the American Cancer Society: 

  • About 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. 

  • Prostate cancer is more likely to develop in older men, with the average age of 67 when first diagnosed. 

  • Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind lung cancer.  

  • About 1 in 43 men will die of prostate cancer. 

 

Early detection matters: 

  • 99% – 5-year survival rate if cancer is detected early before it spreads or only spreads to nearby structures or lymph nodes. 

  • 32% – 5-year survival rate if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as the lungs, liver or bones. 

 

Your screening options: 

  • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test 

  • Digital rectal exam (DRE) 

  • No single screening is absolute. A diagnosis is usually dependent on several factors, and other tests like a prostate biopsy or an MRI may be needed. 

Discuss your options with your Primary Care Physician. You may also be referred to a Urologist for testing, diagnosis and a plan of treatment if you are diagnosed with prostate cancer.
