This week, Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) had the honor of hosting Senator Jon Husted for a thoughtful discussion on the future of healthcare in rural Ohio. His visit was more than a courtesy call, it was a genuine demonstration of leadership and concern for the communities we serve every day.
In an era where rural hospitals face mounting challenges—financial, operational, and demographic—it matters when elected leaders take the time to listen and learn directly from those on the front lines. Senator Husted’s presence in Findlay and his willingness to sit down with our leadership team was not just appreciated, it was necessary.
The Blanchard Valley Health System Board of Trustees nominated new Board and Committee members at the recent annual meeting. As community leaders, BVHS Board and Committee members bring valuable insight and leadership that help ensure the organization continues to provide high-quality care, strategically plan for the future, and uphold its mission of "Caring for a lifetime."
Blanchard Valley Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, a division of Blanchard Valley Health System, now offers the nationally recognized "Own the Bone" program at four convenient locations throughout the region. Patients can now access the program in Findlay, Bluffton, Carey, and Ottawa.
