The Blanchard Valley Health System Corporate PR & Marketing Department has earned two awards in the 2013 Aster Awards competition. These awards included the “Gold” award in the brochure advertising category and the “Silver” award in the patient education category.

The winning brochure was created for the Blanchard Valley Health Foundation’s Gifts from the Heart grateful patient program, and the winning patient education piece is a new patient menu for all inpatients at Blanchard Valley Hospital.

“I am very proud of our team for earning these honors. We are one of very few corporate public relations and marketing departments that does all of our work in house without the help of an agency. Winning these awards is proof of the talent of our department,” said Amy J. Leach, director of BVHS corporate PR & marketing.

The Corporate PR & Marketing team includes Amy Leach, Amy Jordan, Megan James, Abby Hartman, Mindy Radabaugh and Brian Rader. As winners in the Aster Awards competition, Blanchard Valley Health System will be honored in the national Marketing Healthcare Today magazine.
