Oncology services at Blanchard Valley Health System recently received accreditation under the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Commission on Cancer (CoC) Accreditation Program.

Bluffton Hospital, a division of Blanchard Valley Health System, has recently acquired a Renuvion Surgical System Standards Apyx One Console.
The technology streamlines the process of plastic surgeries, making it possible for many patients to have a procedure to tighten skin added to their surgery rather than having to schedule a second surgery later.
“When fat is removed from the body in a procedure like liposuction, the skin becomes looser,” explained Albert Loayza, RN, clinical manager for surgery at Bluffton Hospital. “Patients frequently schedule a follow-up surgery to address this skin issue. However, our new device allows the surgeon to shrink the skin immediately after a procedure as an add-on, removing the need to schedule a second surgery.”
Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS), which includes Bluffton Hospital, has been recognized by healthcare supply chain leader Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) as a recipient of the 2024 Supply Chains of Distinction Award. This award honors top performing hospitals and health systems in North America that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to supply chain excellence, innovation, and resilience.
