BVHS names Sandhir as Chief Medical Officer
Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) has announced that Bihu Sandhir, MD, will become the organization’s Chief Medical Officer in October, after a national search led by an interview panel of BVHS physicians and advanced practice providers.
Dr. Sandhir has spent nearly 25 years in Ohio, spanning Medical Director roles with Kettering Physician Network in Dayton and with Premier Health.
Most recently, she served as Chief Quality Officer for AltaMed Health Services, the nation’s largest network of Federally Qualified Health Centers, in Los Angeles (California). She earned a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery at MS Ramaiah Medical College (Bangalore, India) and completed her Residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Cincinnati. She is board-certified in internal medicine and a Certified Physician Executive (CPE).
“Dr. Sandhir brings a proven focus on quality, population health management, and medical group development, with an empathetic leadership style,” said Myron D. Lewis, president and chief executive officer. “She has long had a passion for health equity, and her career has focused on ensuring healthcare organizations and insurance plans maintain patient care as the top priority.”
“We are excited to welcome Dr. Sandhir back to Ohio, where she will play an integral role in supporting our clinical goals,” said Christian Steiner, MD, president of the BVHS Medical Staff. “As the unanimous choice among all groups who were part of the interview process, Dr. Sandhir will build upon a strong culture that supports our patients and caregivers.”
