History

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, Northwest Ohio Medical Equipment, Blanchard Valley Regional Cancer Center, Physicians Plus Urgent Care, Blanchard Valley Sleep Disorders Center, Wound Care Solutions, Caughman Health Center, EasternWoods Outpatient Center and several other health-related businesses in northwest Ohio.

gollark: If you pick a random species on Earth the chance it has two sexes is not actually exactly 50%, see. Even if that was true, it would be ridiculous to just assume alien life would turn out exactly the same way.
gollark: - alien life does not have to match ours in any way- that isn't true for Earth life either
gollark: How can you possibly know that?
gollark: They will probably be really different to humans in various ways. Why would they care at all?
