Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) and PMBA Architects proudly announce that the Wellness Park campus in Findlay has been awarded First Place People’s Choice in the AIA Ohio Design Awards competition.
The award was presented alongside the recipients of the Design Awards at the AIA Ohio Awards Celebration, which took place during the AIA Ohio Conference in Columbus.
Located on Wellness Way in Findlay, just off County Road 99 and I-75, Wellness Park represents a significant investment in the health and vitality of Northwest Ohio. Designed to meet the region’s growing healthcare needs while enhancing the local economy, the facility brings essential medical services closer to home. This recognition highlights its role as an innovative healthcare destination and a symbol of community partnership.
“Wellness Park was developed in direct response to what our community told us they needed most – better access to primary care and specialty services,” said Tracie Carpener, BVHS Construction Manager. “It took a dedicated team of internal and external experts whose shared goal was to provide a place of quality healthcare access on an innovative campus that can serve our community for generations to come.”
The campus unites multiple specialties, including primary care, pediatrics, endocrinology, neurosurgery, diabetes management, rheumatology, orthopedics, podiatry, and sports medicine. It also expands the Julie A. Cole Rehab & Sports Medicine Center with a fully equipped gym and a specially designed pediatric rehabilitation space supporting physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Patients can access comprehensive care in one convenient location with on-site diagnostic tools such as X-ray, EKG, and laboratory testing.
“Working with the BVHS team on this project was a privilege,” said Craig Pickerel, Principal Architect at PMBA Architects. “They truly exemplified their mission by helping us design a campus that is convenient for patients, provides comprehensive services in one setting so care can remain local, and is also a modern, aesthetically pleasing facility that welcomes the community it serves.”
Wellness Park advances the organization’s mission by making coordinated, high-quality care more accessible. Same-day orthopedic appointments are available, while primary care visits can be scheduled within the same week, ensuring timely care for patients across the region.
