Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) screening has become a standard practice in many U.S. hospitals. Screening provides insight on critical non-medical factors influencing health—like housing, food access, and financial stability. This provides an opportunity for collaboration and the hospital and community level to better understand challenges, build solutions, and improve healthcare together. 

The Genesis mission: We serve our community by helping each person achieve optimal health and well-being by providing compassionate, exceptional, and affordable healthcare services.

Genesis HealthCare System is an integrated healthcare delivery system based in Zanesville, Ohio. The system includes a not-for-profit hospital, Genesis Hospital, in Zanesville, an extensive network of more than 300 physicians and multiple outpatient care centers throughout the region. 

Genesis is the largest healthcare provider in its six-county region of southeastern Ohio, which includes Muskingum, Morgan, Perry, Coshocton, Noble and Guernsey counties. Genesis provides a higher level of service than what is typically found in a community of its size including open-heart surgery, trauma care, a Level II special care nursery, neurosurgery and comprehensive cancer services. This level of care has established Genesis as a primary referral center for much of the region.

In addition to traditional hospital services, Genesis offers a broader range of services through its affiliated organizations, which serve as Genesis' partners to extend care far out into the community.
