Call 419-369-2323 to schedule a vaccine at the hospital

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 30, 2021 - 4:13pm

Bluffton Hospital asks persons calling to schedule a vaccine on the special vaccine number to please use the new "369" Bluffton phone prefix when calling the hospital.

The correct phone number is 419-369-2323.

It is easy to confuse this number with the older "358" prefix, which is incorrect.
