Founding Mothers Dedication Wall at Bluffton Hospital

In recognition of Mother’s Day, the Blanchard Valley Health Foundation provides an opportunity in the Bluffton community to honor or remember a mother. You  may recognize her as a “Founding Mother.”

A recognition wall is located outside the hospital maternity area at The Women’s Center of Bluffton Hospital.

“We have a good story to tell,” said Scott Malaney, president and CEO of Blanchard Valley Health Systems.

Bluffton Hospital, as part of the BVHS, is part of that “good story.”
