Longtime Zanesville Doctor Passes Away

A distinguished member of the Zanesville community has passed away.

Dr. Nick Sarap practiced general surgery in Zanesville from July 1973 through June 2006. He was Chief of Surgery at Good Samaritan and Bethesda Hospital. Upon retirement, he worked for the American College of Surgeons surveying cancer centers in a tri-state area. He recognized the need for a cancer center in Zanesville.
