History

edit

BVHS has a long history of service to Findlay and the surrounding area.

Blanchard Valley Hospital, the anchor subsidiary of BVHS, was founded in 1891 as the Findlay Home for Friendless Women and Children.

Bluffton Hospital was founded in 1908 by Dr. J. J. Suter.

The two hospitals merged in 1995 to create the Blanchard Valley Regional Health Center and later, the Blanchard Valley Health Association (BVHA). In 2007, BVHA changed its name to Blanchard Valley Health System.

Both Blanchard Valley Hospital and Bluffton Hospital are members of the Ohio Hospital Association.

In addition to Blanchard Valley Hospital and Bluffton Hospital, BVHS also operates the Jack Schaefer Retirement Community (which includes Birchaven Village, Birchaven Estates, and Birchaven Heights), Bridge Home Health & Hospice, The Armes Family Cancer Care Center, Physicians Plus Urgent Care, Daniel J. and Maria H. Sak Sleep Wellness Center, Wound Care Solutions, Heminger Heart and Vascular Center, Caughman Health Center, EasternWoods Outpatient Center, Wellness Park Medical Campus, and several other health-related businesses in northwest Ohio.
