The River View High School NIKE Club donated $363.50 to Genesis HealthCare System for the Genesis Cancer Care Center. The money was raised by NIKE Club students selling donuts and hot chocolate in the high school. The fundraiser was organized by Adara Birkhimer, a junior at River View and member of the NIKE Club, which is a group of female students who support and empower each other.
“We are grateful for the River View NIKE Club’s donation that will be used toward patients’ supplies,” said Pebbles Thornton, Director of Genesis Cancer, Palliative Medicine and Hospice Services. “It is inspiring to see students who care about cancer patients have the initiative and dedication to raise the funds.”

Before the Genesis Coshocton Medical Center officially opened its doors, multiple events were held to celebrate what this new healthcare facility means to the residents of Coshocton and surrounding counties.
Here is the look at the festivities:
Community members of all ages toured the new facility on Saturday, March 18. They met their future caregivers, viewed new diagnostic and treatment equipment, and enjoyed refreshments and a door prize drawing.
Genesis board and team members and Coshocton community leaders gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, March 16.

Edmund Kassis, M.D., a Fellowship-trained and Board-certified Thoracic Surgeon, brings both clinical experience and leadership skills to his new position with Genesis HealthCare System.
In addition to performing surgeries at Genesis Hospital, Dr. Kassis serves as medical director of cardiothoracic surgery within the Genesis Heart & Vascular Group.
Dr. Kassis specializes in the surgical removal of lung cancer, esophageal cancer and mediastinal tumors. He performs a full range of traditional and minimally invasive procedures, and optimizes patient benefits by frequently utilizing innovative robotic-assisted technologies in the treatment of thoracic cancers.
“Robotic-assisted technology allows outstanding visualization of the chest,” he said. “The instrumentation is like working with your hands but doesn’t require spreading a patient’s ribs and uses much smaller incisions. Patients who are candidates benefit from shorter hospital stays, less pain and the ability to return to work and normal activities faster.”
Initially inspired to pursue medicine by family members who passed away from lung cancer, Dr. Kassis aims to help others facing similar diagnoses. He takes a direct approach to educating patients and strives to provide top-quality surgical care. “I always have my patients’ best interests in mind and want them to understand their treatment,” he said.
When asked about his most rewarding professional moments, Dr. Kassis said they include the satisfaction of an operation well done, seeing patients thriving in the hospital post-surgery and congratulating patients at the five-year mark when they are declared cancer-free.
Outside of work, Dr. Kassis enjoys taking his body to the extreme. Always moving, he has completed multiple Ironman competitions and is training for a 36-hour endurance hike. He also golfs and scuba dives.
