Your voice matters! Help us create a healthier community by completing a short survey.
We invite you to complete the Community Health Needs Assessment below to share your thoughts on community health needs and how we can make our community a healthier place to live. In partnership with the Southeastern Ohio Health Improvement Collaborative, we want to hear from you on how we can address and improve the needs of our community.
Our flagship organization, Genesis Hospital, is a not-for-profit hospital that provides care to all members of the community, regardless of ability to pay.
Each year, we provide millions of dollars in free care for people who can’t afford health services. We also absorb millions of dollars in unpaid Medicare and Medicaid costs, which reflects the difference between our cost to provide care and the amount the government pays for providing the care.
Learn more about our billing and insurance policies, including options for financial assistance.
As a participant in the 340B hospital program, Genesis receives limited federal resources to reduce the price of outpatient pharmaceuticals for Medicaid, uninsured and low-income patients.
