	With more than 100 years of service behind us, BVHS is prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We&rsquo;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 a non-profit, integrated regional health system based in Findlay, a unique micropolitan community 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&rsquo;s and 1990&rsquo;s, 2007, and 2009.
	
	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.
