After 35 years and thousands of families served, the Morrison House, the region’s only dedicated inpatient hospice facility, needs to be replaced.

Anyone who has ever had a loved one at the Morrison House knows our program’s lasting impact on families during the most difficult times.

Numerous community members and businesses have already stepped forward to pledge their support. Your donation, small or large, will make a difference in the lives of our patients and families.

Together, your contributions will help build a new facility and ensure our nonprofit, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Five-Star Rated Hospice facility will continue to provide the critical care you’ve come to know and trust.

Your donation will create private patient rooms and bathrooms with beautiful garden views. Every patient’s room will accommodate families with desks and comfortable sleeping areas to help loved ones feel at ease.

We are immensely grateful to the J.W. & M.H. Straker Charitable Foundation for its naming donation. We also thank the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity for donating the land.

If you would like more information or to contribute, please visit genesishcs.org/foundation or call 740-454-5052. Thank you for helping us support our community’s future.

Thank you for choosing Genesis for 10 years

It’s Genesis Hospital’s 10th anniversary of opening.

As we started plans in 2011 for our new era of healthcare in Southeastern Ohio, we asked for your opinion. We only had one chance to build our new hospital, and we wanted to get it right.

Past and present patients came together to engage in the planning. Extensive focus groups provided valuable ideas. Drafts of plans and architectural drawings were shared to improve the design. Public walkthroughs of mock patient rooms gave us firsthand feedback to refine the patient experience.

You asked for private rooms and bathrooms, an enlarged emergency department, private transport hallways, free valet parking and beautiful courtyards.

You wanted to walk from one end of the facility to the other without stepping foot outside. The inclusion of more glass and brightly colored hallways would create a more positive atmosphere.

Building a Cancer Care Center separated from the main hospital was important. Designed exclusively around patients’ needs, it was consolidated into one space so patients could receive “WrapAround Cancer Care.”

Because of your valuable input and all your support, we were able to create a patient-centered facility to provide you with the highest quality of care.

As we enter our next decade, our vision continues to be a hospital that exceeds your expectations. Thank you for trusting us with you and your family’s care.

“I researched the best breast cancer care at a time that I needed top-notch doctors and up-to-date surgery to save my life,” said Ashley Tamasovich. “I found Genesis, and because of them I get to stay active and do the things I love. I get to keep being a wife and a mom and can live each day to the fullest.”

“Arthritis kept me from an active life,” said Nancy Walsh. “I walked a lot for my job. I was dedicated to having both knees replaced close together to live pain-free. I chose Genesis for both surgeries. I was committed to my recovery. After the second surgery, I was back to work in five weeks. I still feel better than ever and am ready to enjoy my retirement.”

1,200+ Coronary artery bypass graft surgeries

“Back pain got in the way of everyday tasks,” said Marshall Kroll. “It even hurt to sit in a chair. I felt comfortable asking my Genesis care team about treatment options. After my spinal cord stimulator procedure, I’m back to doing everything. I can sit and read a book. I’ve returned to walking several miles a week. I’m really happy I chose Genesis because the team is great. I feel incredible.”
