With more than a century 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.
Blanchard Valley Health System is the non-profit parent corporation of an integrated regional health system based in Findlay, a unique micropolitan community located in Northwest Ohio. Governed by a community board of trustees representing large and small business, education, law, medicine and finance, BVHS oversees all operations.
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. As the community of Findlay has experienced growth and prosperity, so has the health system, with major expansions occurring in 1958, 1967, 1977, throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, and most recently in 2007.
Blanchard Valley Health System is one of the largest employers in the area with 2,100+ associates and serves an eight-county area, which includes Hancock, Allen, Putnam, Henry, Wood, Seneca, Wyandot, and Hardin Counties.
In addition, a dedicated group of more than 600 volunteers support the Health System 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.
