BVHS Service of Remembrance held April 28
The eighteenth annual Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) Service of Remembrance will be held on Sunday, April 28, at 2 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church of Findlay, 2230 S. Main St., Findlay.
This interfaith memorial service will honor BVHS patients and residents who passed away in 2018. All are welcome to attend the service, which will be followed by a reception.
“The community is welcome each year to join us as we remember the individuals we have been honored to serve throughout Blanchard Valley Health System,” said Chris Schilling, chaplain at Blanchard Valley Hospital. “We have had the privilege of taking part in the lives of these patients, residents, associates and friends of BVHS during very sacred times. Service of Remembrance is an opportunity for us to honor their lives and our relationships with them."
This is the 18th year that the service has commemorated the lives of patients and residents cared for throughout Blanchard Valley Health System, including Bridge Home Health & Hospice, Birchaven Retirement Village, Blanchard Valley Hospital, Bluffton Hospital and Independence House.
The service allows families, friends and community members to remember and express gratitude for the lives of the people they have loved. It is also an opportunity for BVHS associates, administrators and providers to remember the patients and families for whom they have had the privilege to meet and provide care.
