| Cancer survivor finds “best doctors” at
Genesys |
Diagnosed with breast
cancer more than three years ago, Ortonville resident Carol Rashotte
recalls “the bad day” when she received news
of her prognosis.
“I went for my regular mammogram. The doctor had seen
spots before, so I wasn’t worried when he called and told me I needed
a second mammogram,” she reports.

| Genesys climbs extra steps to bring
soldier home |
Tony Ambrose remembers
climbing a ladder to fix his roof back in April, but after that,
his memory is shaky. He does recall clearly that
the fall not
only saved his life, but gave him a chance to see his son before he
was deployed to Iraq, thanks to Genesys.
Tony’s wife Cindy
took her husband to Genesys immediately after she heard him fall,
and saw how disoriented he was. He arrived at the Genesys Health
Park emergency department with fractured ribs and a concussion,
however a CT scan revealed much more.

| Genesys improves quality of life for
heart patient |
I wouldn’t be alive
today if it weren’t for Dr. Dobies (David Dobies, MD,interventional
cardiologist with the Genesys Heart Institute),” announces
Charlene Hunt.
The 58-year-old mother of three from Davison has
struggled with congestive heart failure for a few years now. She’s
had two heart bypasses, but her chronic medical condition was

internal medicine specialist with Genesys – knew another heart
bypass was too risky.

Stephen Kelly. The 60-year-old maintenance supervisor for GM-SPO

family history of heart problems
was a recipe for disaster that
landed him at the Genesys emergency center in his neighborhood.

| Woman owes
her health and life to Genesys |
Lomie Yoder has dropped more than 50 pounds since joining the Genesys
Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention Enhancement program about
one year ago. “My blood pressure also has gone down a lot,” she is
very pleased to report, “and I’ve added weights to my exercise
routine.”
Lomie suffers from cardiomyopathy, a condition
where the heart becomes abnormally enlarged, weak, and less able to
pump enough blood to meet the body’s oxygen needs. About 27,000
Americans die from this disease every year because it often is
detected too late.

| Genesys gives woman new knees, and a new life |
I have a new lease on life, thanks to Genesys!”
announces Jacque McGuire.
After injections in her knees no
longer relieved the pain, she sought the help of Frederick
Schreiber, DO, orthopedic surgeon at Genesys, who performed double knee
replacement surgery.
“I was so tired of living in misery,”
Jacque recalls. “I wanted this surgery.”
