Prostate cancer screening can save your life
According to the American Cancer Society:
About 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime.
Prostate cancer is more likely to develop in older men, with the average age of 67 when first diagnosed.
Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind lung cancer.
About 1 in 43 men will die of prostate cancer.
Early detection matters:
99% – 5-year survival rate if cancer is detected early before it spreads or only spreads to nearby structures or lymph nodes.
32% – 5-year survival rate if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as the lungs, liver or bones.
Your screening options:
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test
Digital rectal exam (DRE)
No single screening is absolute. A diagnosis is usually dependent on several factors, and other tests like a prostate biopsy or an MRI may be needed.
Discuss your options with your Primary Care Physician. You may also be referred to a Urologist for testing, diagnosis and a plan of treatment if you are diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Spotlight on David Wu, D.O.
Palliative Medicine
David Wu, D.O., recently joined Genesis Palliative Care Specialists, specializing in hospice and palliative medicine. Dr. Wu’s background in science and desire to serve his community spurred his interest in medicine, particularly in palliative care. His philosophy is to treat patients from a personalized holistic perspective.
“I was drawn to palliative care,” Dr. Wu said, “because I find guiding patients and families through some of the most difficult moments of their lives fulfilling, and I liked the possibility of exploring ways to treat symptoms.”
Dr. Wu was looking for a community hospital system that is quick to change and respond to the needs of its patients and providers. Genesis turned out to be the perfect fit.
“It’s essential that the medical and emotional health of patients in palliative care is closely monitored and treated,” Du Wu said. “Things can change quickly. It is very satisfying to see that a quick response or explanation provides a great deal of comfort to patients and their families.”
Outside of work, Dr. Wu enjoys Brazilian jiujitsu, travel and cooking. He has one cat named Nelly.
Dr. Wu’s office is in Genesis Medical Arts Building III at 1330 Ashland Ave., Zanesville. He is seeing patients in Genesis Hospital, at the Coshocton Genesis Medical Group office and in patients’ homes. His phone number is 740-455-4925. He is accepting new patients.
Doctor of Medicine:
Midwestern University/Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine Downers Grove, Illinois
Internal Medicine Residency:
University of Connecticut Farmington, Connecticut
Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship:

A letter from our President and CEO | LiveWell Spring 2024
Mission Moments
Saving a life when seconds count, taking the extra time to comfort a patient and family in unique ways and organizing a bedside birthday party.
We call them mission moments, and they happen at Genesis every day. These are the special times when our team members make our values of Compassion, Excellence, Integrity, Team and Innovation come alive for our patients. They are living our mission and are responsible for the extra things that make a big difference for those we care for and their families.
As a testament to their character, their goodwill also extends beyond our walls when they change out of their uniforms. You can routinely find our 4,000-plus Genesis team members out in our neighborhoods, building houses for the less fortunate, coaching and serving meals to the hungry and so much more. They are creating mission moments in our community alongside each of you who gives your time, money and energy to help others.
It is this mindset that makes our community special. And please accept my thanks for all you do for your neighbors, friends and our team.
Our growing team
This issue will introduce you to David Wu, D.O., our new Palliative Medicine Specialist. He has already become a great addition and is helping those in need.
A rare diagnosis
On the following pages, you can read about Jason Richardson, who, at only 39 years old, suffered a rare, ruptured esophagus. Thanks to a quick diagnosis and treatment, he is at home enjoying life with his family.
Community Benefit Report
When I think about Genesis, I am proudest of the people who care for our patients and families. As I mentioned in the opening, they tirelessly give to help others, both through their profession and outside of work. I am also grateful for how our non-profit health system constantly gives back locally. Our annual Community Benefit Report, within this issue of LiveWell, highlights some of the programs and efforts we make to ensure everyone in our community receives the exceptional healthcare they need.
In good health,
Matthew J. Perry

Genesis HealthCare System Receives Primary Stroke Recertification
Demonstrates high-quality stroke care
Genesis HealthCare System earned primary stroke recertification by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC). Primary stroke certification means Genesis can stabilize and treat acute stroke patients, provide acute care and administer tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), an FDA-approved treatment for ischemic strokes, as well as other therapies safely and efficiently. The recertification process occurs every three years with a mid-cycle review at 18 months.
“Achieving this recertification required the teamwork of our physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses and staff to provide life-saving care when they arrive at the Emergency Department and throughout their follow-up care,” said Keela Barker, Director of Rehabilitation & Ambulatory Services at Genesis. “Every minute is crucial when someone is having a stroke. The sooner patients receive care, the better their chances are for a good outcome.”
ACHC is a nonprofit organization that has stood as a symbol of quality and excellence since 1986. Certification by ACHC confirms that Genesis is providing high-quality care as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.
