Genesis Urogynecologist Honored for Therapy Milestone

Submitted by emily.griffin on

Mitesh Parekh, M.D., a Urogynecologist with Genesis Urogynecology, has been recognized by Medtronic, a leading medical device company, for his outstanding contribution in positively impacting the lives of 500 patients through the innovative InterStim™ therapy. This recognition is awarded to physicians for who demonstrate exceptional expertise in utilizing the InterStim™ therapy to alleviate symptoms associated with overactive bladder, fecal incontinence and non-obstructive urinary retention.

“The Genesis Urogynecology team is pleased to receive this award from Medtronic,” said Dr. Parekh. “We are proud of our partnership with InterStim™. This program demonstrates our commitment to helping our patients live happier, healthier lives.”

Dr. Parekh’s achievement was based on several criteria, including board certification in urology, obstetrics, gynecology and urogynecology, the completion of Medtronic education courses, and successful implantation of a minimum of 500 patients with the InterStim™ system, among others.

InterStim™ therapy utilizes sacral nerve stimulation to restore communication between the brain and bladder or bowels, regulating the function of sacral nerves to interpret signals from the brain and transmit them to the pelvic floor muscles.

Genesis Behavioral Health receives donation from Muskingum University Nursing Student Organization

Submitted by Kyle.Norton on

Genesis Behavioral Health recently received a $300 donation from Muskingum University’s Nursing Student Organization (NSO). NSO hosted a campus volleyball tournament and invited teams to participate for a $50 entry fee. The winning team, Chi Alpha Nu sorority, selected where to donate the proceeds.

 

Muskingum University student Marysa Starcher said, “Chi Alpha Nu donated to Genesis Behavioral Health because of the ongoing safe and caring environment they create within the community.”

 

NSO partnered with two Muskingum organizations for the tournament, Active Minds and the M.A.C.E. Club fraternity. Active Minds is a nationwide organization that promotes mental health awareness and education for young adults. Additional proceeds from a “Muskies Fight the Stigma” T-shirt fundraiser were included with the donation. 
 

“We are appreciative that the students chose to support Genesis,” said Jerry Nolder, Executive Director, Genesis HealthCare Foundation. “Our future is bright with students like these who impact the community with their generosity.”

 

NSO participates in Muskingum University campus activities that support healthy lifestyle behaviors while developing skills essential for professional nursing practices. Associate Professor of Nursing Terra Armstead, DNP, RN, CEN, advises the organization.
