Orange and black have always been associated with the month of October, along with the fiery reds, yellows, and oranges that make up the colors of the changing tree leaves. But in recent years, pink has managed to add itself to that list with October being Breast Cancer Awareness month. This pink is associated with the color of the Pink Ribbon used for raising awareness, along with it being a reminder to both women and men to get checked.

This month, Genesis is excited to be a part of the Breast Cancer Awareness movement, and to be doing our part in being a reminder and advocate for people to get checked. To do this we have set up a calendar for all of October, where we will wear at least one piece of pink clothing to become walking billboards for Breast Cancer Awareness. Our Marketing Director, Howard Nettles, along with the rest of the Genesis staff are very excited to proudly wear pink, and we invite you all to join us. Hopefully together we can continue to be reminders and advocates for better health for our community.

 

Have you spotted our new billboard at the Darlington Raceway? Our witty tagline was written to show that as your community health care provider, health is a part of our DNA and our identity. As we continue to expand and grow, we want the community to know that Genesis is always here to help, and this billboard is a grand reminder of this promise.

Genesis Healthcare had the pleasure of interacting with the motivated people of Florence, and the surrounding areas, at the Civic Center’s Business Empowerment & Career Fair on Saturday, August 5th. Represented by our Director of Marketing, Howard Nettles, we enjoyed a day of networking, keynote speakers, and live entertainment.

Making sure we do our part to be a consistent member in the communities that we serve is essential. Also interacting and networking with these friendly people is a pleasure in itself. Make sure to check out the photos, and if you have any questions about our upcoming events or employment please do not hesitate to contact us.

On Friday, July 14th, 2017, Genesis had the pleasure of donating to the Darlington Fire Department. The donation was for the department’s Explorer Post Program 608. These funds will be used for the acquisition of much-needed new equipment. This equipment is essential in the development of Darlington’s future firefighters – who will, in time, be the ones who protect the Darlington community.

Thanks for all you do, and keep up the great work! It is much appreciated.

On July 14, 2017, Genesis Healthcare had the honor of presenting a donation at the Harvest Hope’s “Pearls and Jeans” fundraiser, held at the Hartsville Country Club. Our own Howard Nettles, who was not only representing Genesis, but also Harvest Hope as a current board member, presented the funds to Donna Lollis.

We are excited, especially as the main “Pearls and Jeans” event sponsor, to see these funds support Harvest Hope’s goal of providing food for the hungry, by gathering and sharing quality food with dignity, compassion, and education. Whether it is our staff individually or our organization as a whole, giving time or giving money, Genesis always looks for ways to support and partner with other local organizations who share a similar mission of creating a stronger and healthier community. Only together can we achieve these goals!
