Blanchard Valley Health System recently made several key management changes in order to focus on organization-wide, strategic initiatives.

Linda DeArment was named the Director of Physician Services and Recruitment. DeArment will oversee all provider recruiting activities and the Medical Staff Office. Prior to accepting this position, Linda served as the Chief Development Officer of the Blanchard Valley Health Foundation for nearly 10 years.

With the transition of DeArment to the Director of Physician Services and Recruitment role, Blanchard Valley Health Foundation associate Marie Swaisgood will assume the position of Chief Development Officer of the Blanchard Valley Health Foundation. Swaisgood has served as a BVHF Development Officer since 2013. In her new role, she will oversee all fundraising activities as well as BVHS volunteer services.

“I welcome Linda and Marie to their new roles,” said Scott Malaney, president and CEO of Blanchard Valley Health System. “We are truly fortunate to have such extraordinary associates, volunteers, providers and community members supporting the organization’s mission of ‘Caring for a lifetime.’”
