As we prioritize delivering quality care for our patients, we will partner with other health systems to transition open-heart surgery cases diagnosed at Blanchard Valley Health System.”
The system is also expanding cardiovascular services at its Jane & Gary Heminger HeartCare Center, including cardio-oncology, cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac imaging, and vascular care for the detection, diagnosis and intervention of cardiac disease.
