Blanchard Valley Hospital (BVH) has been surveyed by the Ohio State Medical Association (OSMA) Focused Task Force on Accreditation and awarded accreditation for six years as a provider of continuing medical education for physicians.

“We are very proud to receive the six year accreditation, which is the highest accreditation level possible,” said Beverly Woodward, BVH continuing medical education coordinator. “This recognition speaks volumes to the quality of our medical education programs and the educational aspirations of the physicians in our community.”

The Bluffton University softball team kept the bats rolling with wins over Concordia University-Chicago and Geneva at the Rebel Spring Games on Monday, March 4, 2013. The Beavers took care of Corcordia in five innings before dropping 2012 PAC champion Geneva College 6-2 under the lights.

Following the same script they used on Sunday, Bluffton jumped out on top of Concordia with four runs in the opening frame. Katie Clark (New Palestine, Ind.) singled up the middle with two outs to start the rally.
