Embracing community

As we commemorate Genesis Hospital’s 10th anniversary of opening in 2025, this issue of LiveWell celebrates you, our remarkable community.

Our journey to deliver the best personalized care began and continues with you. Whether you call on Genesis for an urgent illness or ask us to guide you through life’s most important health decisions, we’re here to help.

In this issue, we check in with five Genesis patients from the last decade. They are enjoying life to the fullest because of their determination to overcome difficult health challenges. You’ll also meet Dale Marlatt, who chose Genesis for his minimally invasive heart procedure and feels stronger than ever.

Your support helps us recruit the best physicians. We welcome Arshia Khorasani-Zadeh, M.D., to Genesis Digestive Disease Specialists, whose patient-centered approach to gastroenterology is a great fit for our community.

This special edition also includes our 2024 Community Benefit Report. Over the last year, you chose Genesis to help with preventative care, heart health, stroke support, diabetes education, behavioral health services and more. You received first aid certifications to help others and called the free 24-hour NurseLine to find information about family health concerns.

You also encouraged the next generation to learn about clinical and other careers close to home at Genesis. Introduced in 2024, our Workforce Development program provides local students with hands-on opportunities to learn about healthcare careers while networking within the community.

Thank you for the ongoing opportunity to serve you. May you and your family enjoy the renewal of the spring season.

In good health,

Matthew Perry signature

You can count on us

At Genesis, we care about your well-being and will help you meet your health needs by ensuring you receive exceptional medical care close to home. We continue to recruit exceptional physicians and adopt the newest innovative technologies. In this issue of LiveWell, you can read about our latest advancements in serving you.

The Genesis Heart & Vascular Institute recently became the first in Ohio to acquire a Veriton-Spect CT scanner, specifically used in heart care. This new equipment provides our expert cardiologists with the highest-quality images of your heart for the most precise diagnosis.

The Genesis Heart & Vascular Institute is also among the first in the state to use tiny drug-coated balloons to treat patients whose heart stent has started to close over time. This innovative, minimally invasive approach delivers medicine to a narrowed artery that was previously stented. This procedure restores proper blood flow to your heart and significantly reduces the risk of future blockages.

These latest advancements in medical care help us deliver high-quality heart care as a Top 50 Heart Hospital in the nation for the second year in a row, as rated by Fortune Magazine and PINC AI. Learn more heart-healthy information in this issue and on our Facebook page as we honor American Heart Month in February.

The future of hospice care

For the past 35 years, the Genesis Hospice Care program has served thousands of families through the Morrison House, the region’s only dedicated inpatient hospice facility.

For anyone who has ever had a loved one at the Morrison House, you know the lasting impact this program has for families during the most difficult of times.

Well, the current Morrison House building has reached the very end of its useful life and must be replaced. We have decided to build a new replacement inpatient facility to serve our patients and families for decades to come. In this issue, learn about the capital campaign we have started to fund the replacement of this special place.

Keeping you healthy

Read about six new physicians ready to serve you, including Christopher Leibold, D.O., with the Genesis Orthopedic Group, focusing on partial and total knee replacements and anterior hip replacement.

You’ll also meet Dean Daniels, who received life-saving heart surgery at Genesis. Dean encourages you to learn about your family health history to share with your doctors.
