Clergy

If you are a member of the clergy or a lay representative, your requested presence during a hospital stay is very meaningful for patients, and we welcome your visits to Genesis.

Clergy ID badge

For security reasons, to help our patients and staff clearly identify you, and to enable you to enter the hospital after regular visiting hours, we encourage you to get a Genesis photo identification (ID) badge.

Application process

The ID application process costs $20. Follow these steps:

  1. Print and complete the application form.
  2. Print and complete the confidentiality statement form.
  3. Mail both documents and the $20 fee (check or money order made payable to Genesis HealthCare System with “Human Resources” written in the memo section of the check) to:
    Genesis Hospital
    Spiritual Care Department
    2951 Maple Avenue
    Zanesville, OH 43701

A background check will be completed by Genesis, and once approved, Spiritual Care will contact you to stop by Human Resources to have your photo taken for the badge.

Clergy badge benefits

Your Genesis photo ID badge will also make you eligible for these benefits:

  • A 15% discount on meals in either of the hospital’s cafeterias.
  • Notification of upcoming continuing education seminars for clergy sponsored by the Spiritual Care Department at Genesis.

If you need more information about the ID application process, please call Spiritual Care at 740-454-5859.
