Blanchard Valley's HeartCare Center offers lifesaving service to our area, and I hope this gift will continue to advance our offerings here in Findlay."

"Jane and Gary's generosity will make it possible for our area to have the highest quality heart care services close to home," said Scott Malaney, president and CEO of Blanchard Valley Health System. "We are grateful that they have expressed their confidence in us, so that we can meet the needs of our community in such an important way. We are proud to name the HeartCare Center the Jane & Gary Heminger HeartCare Center in their honor."
