At Genesis Healthcare we like to see healthy patients and healthy families.  We are very proud to be part of the Growing Homes event and support the betterment of the foster care program.  Thank you to those who work tirelessly for the benefit of others.  This event was held in July 2023 at the Orlando Hudson Estate.

Wow!  What a fun time we had at our Back-to-School Bash events, even in the hot weather, with our partners and co-hosts: Welvista; Humana; Duke Energy; Harvest Hope; Niagara Bottling; Darlington Fire Department; and MPD Electric.

Together we provided over 150 backpacks with school supplies. Cooked over 200 hotdogs, with the help of Mr. & Mrs. C. Flood, and served over 300 families from the 10 pallets of food Harvest Hope provided..

We understand it takes a village to care for one another and we are grateful for our partners.  Thank you!

And we salute our Genesis staff members that volunteer to help these events become a great success.  We are fortunate to have a caring and energetic staff.

Genesis Healthcare, in partnership with The American Heart Association (AHA), provided CPR training kits to the Colleton County School District. The kits are part of the AHA’s “Be the Beat” program, reaching out to local organizations and bringing awareness to the importance of CPR training in our communities and workplaces.

Genesis Healthcare is a nonprofit FQHC (Federally Qualified Health Center) healthcare provider with locations in Darlington, Olanta, Florence, Lamar, Walterboro, and Goose Creek. We are deeply rooted in these communities and committed to improving their health through prevention, early intervention, rehabilitation, training, and education. 

 The American Heart Association is committed to creating the Next Generation of Heartsavers™ through their “Be the Beat” Hands-Only CPR programs. “Be the Beat” provides free resource tools to help start and sustain Hands-Only CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training programs in communities so that one or more people in each household knows this lifesaving skill.

Congratulations to our Employee of the Quarter, Angela Gaiter!

As an American Heart Association (AHA) “Be the Beat” sponsor, Genesis presented 2 CPR kits to the Boys & Girls Clubs Of The Pee Dee Area so their staff can train members of their organization. We gladly support the AHA in achieving their goal of having one person in each home trained to administer CPR. A special thanks to the Boys & Girls Clubs in North Florence!
