Blanchard Valley Health System
Description
We're here for you. Blanchard Valley Health System is a non-profit, integrated regional health system based in Findlay, a unique micropolitan community in Northwest Ohio.
With more than 125 years of service behind us, BVHS is prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We’ve grown from a single hospital to a comprehensive health system offering the Northwest Ohio region a full continuum of care.
BVHS is one of the largest employers in the area with more than 1,600 associates and serves an eight-county area that includes Hancock, Allen, Putnam, Henry, Wood, Seneca, Wyandot, and Hardin Counties.
In addition, a dedicated group of more than 600 volunteers support BVHS through their contributions of both time and money. As part of the BVHS family, the Auxiliary is a major contributor to our standards of excellence.
