Sprunger collaborates with BVHS on Health Connect podcast
Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) has launched a podcoast featuring connections between its services and the communities it serves. Health Connect will spotlight new physicians/providers and technology, untangle the complexities of healthcare, and give listeners a glimpse into healthcare offerings in Northwest Ohio.
The first episode was released on April 18. “Health Connect” is available on major podcasting platforms and the BVHS website. Episodes are about 20 minutes long,
This series is co-hosted by Eric Proctor, chief people officer at BVHS, and Sam Sprunger, a Bluffton podcaster. Proctor provides insights into the BVHS culture, career opportunities, and the unique stories of the organization’s patients, associates, and medical staff. Sprunger brings the layperson’s perspective, being outside the healthcare industry but eager to learn and help listeners understand.
“’Health Connect’ will spotlight BVHS as a connected care network serving individuals of all ages and needs,” Proctor said. “Our team has many great stories to tell, and we’re excited to share those stories through a BVHS podcast for the first time. We can’t wait for our community members to get to know some of our extraordinary people and hear some of the stories that make BVHS special.”
