Steven C. Fulop, M.D., MBA, FAANS, recently joined the Genesis Neurosurgery Group, specializing in neurosurgery.

Dr. Fulop’s interest in science and its applications prompted him to consider medicine as a career. During medical school he took an interest in neuroscience. He said he favored surgery because he was a college athlete and enjoyed the performance and pressure.

He performs spinal procedures including arthroplasty, thoracic and lumbar decompression and minimally invasive (MIS) procedures.

Dr. Fulop is a native of Cleveland, Ohio, and attended college at Ohio Wesleyan in Delaware, Ohio. His family lives in Cleveland and Columbus. Currently a Lt. Col. in the U.S. Army Reserves, when he was on active duty in Iraq he met a Genesis physician who encouraged him to consider a career at Genesis. Dr. Fulop says he is looking forward to “providing excellent care to patients with neurosurgical issues.”  

Dr. Fulop said that because he has to stay in shape for the Reserves, he spends a lot of time exercising, which he enjoys. A Cleveland Browns and Ohio State Buckeyes fan, he also likes to fish, watch movies and play video games that improve coordination and problem-solving skills.  

Dr. Fulop’s office is located at the Genesis Neuroscience Center at 955 Bethesda Drive, Garden Level, in Zanesville. His phone number is 740-586-6828. He is accepting new patients by physician referral.

Steven C. Fulop, M.D., MBA, FAANS, recently joined the Genesis Neurosurgery Group, specializing in neurosurgery.

After more than 24 years of a successful private practice, Walter Randolph, M.D., MS, joined Genesis Women’s Health Specialists, serving the Coshocton area. When he was considering a change, Dr. Randolph said he wanted to join a system with a strong focus on patients and communities. “As soon as I started talking with the people here, I knew I was making the right choice,” he said. “I have always worked to educate patients about their conditions, so they understand what is happening and why I do certain things to help. That happens best in this type of practice.”  

A fourth-generation physician, Dr. Randolph said he initially pursued a career in the sciences, but “God always led me back to medicine.” He considered other specialties but chose obstetrics and gynecology because it is a combination of clinical and surgical medicine. It also allowed him to see a variety of patients for a long period of their lives.

Dr. Randolph is also looking forward to the use of the new surgical suites in Coshocton. “The facility has all the technology to best serve our patients,” he said.

Dr. Randolph, his wife and family like hiking, boating, birdwatching and spending time outdoors. “I enjoy fresh air and open spaces.”  

Dr. Randolph’s office is at 1417 Kaderly St. NW in New Philadelphia. His phone number is 330-602-5678. He is accepting new patients.

What matters most

In the last 18 months, Genesis has continued to invest in the latest technology, equipment and facilities. We have updated and doubled our robotic-assisted surgery equipment, implemented additional best-of-class software, opened the Genesis Coshocton Medical Center and expanded our primary care and specialty physician offices.  

All amazing accomplishments.

If asked to pick our most significant achievement, my answer will always be the same. Building and supporting an outstanding team of caregivers. Your neighbors, friends and family members make Genesis what we are, a top 50 heart hospital in the nation and a healthcare system nationally recognized for our high quality, compassionate care.

We are grateful that we can provide our team with innovative technology and modern facilities to perform at their highest levels. However, the skill of our dedicated team members is and always will be the most valuable part of Genesis.

Building the team

While we have been busy building over the last year and a half, we have also added many new physicians. Join us in welcoming five more physicians who are highlighted on the following pages.

Our patients

As always, we highlight some of our recent patients within LiveWell. For the first time in this publication, we also provide a check-up on previous patients to learn how they are doing years after their life-threatening health scares.

Thank you for supporting Genesis and our team.

What matters most.

Genesis HealthCare System is providing an opportunity for community members to purchase a Snow Angel memorial to honor or remember a loved one while giving to a worthy cause.

Sessions are being held to assist patients in choosing alternative plans.

Genesis HealthCare System announced today that it will not accept Anthem Medicare Advantage or Humana Medicare Advantage plans in 2024. This means the entire Genesis HealthCare System, including Genesis Hospital, Genesis Coshocton Medical Center, Genesis Perry County and Genesis Medical Group Physicians will not be in-network with the Anthem or Humana Medicare Advantage plans.

“We simply cannot accept the Anthem Medicare Advantage or Humana Medicare Advantage Plans for 2024,” said Mathew Perry, President and CEO of Genesis HealthCare System. “If you are a current participant in Anthem or Humana Medicare, it is important to consider other choices during open enrollment, which is taking place now. As you review your options, we invite you to consider other health plans that Genesis HealthCare System accepts.” 

Once a year, all Medicare Advantage (MA) Plan members have the opportunity to choose coverage and make sure their doctors and hospital are in-network providers for the upcoming year. It’s called the Medicare Annual Election Period (AEP) – and it’s Oct. 15-Dec. 7, 2023.  

There are two ways for patients to seek assistance in evaluating which MA plan is right for them.  

1. Working with an insurance broker to select a plan is one of the best ways. They can help evaluate the patient’s choice to find a plan that meets their unique needs. There is no cost for this service.   

2. Genesis will hold sessions that include an Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) representative to provide information and help you make a choice:

• In Zanesville, join us at North Terrace Church, 1420 Brandywine Blvd., on Wednesday, Oct. 25. 

• In Cambridge, join us at Pritchard Laughlin Civic Center, 7033 Glenn Highway, on Tuesday, Oct. 31.  

• In New Lexington, join us at St. Rose of Lima Parish, 3309 North Main Street, on Thursday, Nov. 2.  

• In Coshocton, join us at Coshocton Village Inn & Suites, 115 N. Water Street, on Monday, Nov. 6.

All sessions start at 9 a.m. and noon each day. Registration is required by going to genesishcs.org/medicare. 

Genesis will accept the following Medicare Advantage Health Plans in 2024: 

• Aetna Medicare 
• Medical Mutual of Ohio 
• Medigold 
• United Healthcare 
• CareSource Medicare Advantage
• The Health Plan Medicare Advantage
• AllWell Buckeye Medicare Advantage
• Valor Health Plan Medicare Advantage

For additional information, call the Genesis Patient Resource Center at 740-454-4335 or 866-270-1944, ext. 4335, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

From the sniffles to the flu, being sick is no fun. Thankfully, our immune system is constantly working to keep us healthy. Are there things we can do to make our immune system stronger? Sadly, the answer is unclear. Research has struggled to consistently find evidence that says we can.
