(From Blanchard Valley Health System)
Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) is pleased to announce that longstanding community cardiologists, Greg Gerschutz, MD, and David Meier, MD, will join Blanchard Valley Medical Practices (BVMP), effective November 1, 2025. Each physician brings over 20 years of dedicated service to BVHS—their integration into the medical group—alongside Mike Denike, MD, and Pamela Reed, MD—marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the cardiovascular program.
As part of this transition, we are also excited to welcome Jeremy Clark, APRN-CNP, and Amy Sloan, APRN-CNP to BVMP. Clark and Sloan are experienced advanced practice providers who have worked closely with Drs. Gerschutz and Meier, and their addition further strengthens our commitment to comprehensive, team-based cardiovascular care.
“At BVHS, our mission is rooted in ensuring access to high-quality, compassionate care close to home,” said Kelly Shroll, FACHE, Chief Operating Officer, Ambulatory Services.
“Through strategic partnerships, advanced technology, and the recruitment of experienced physicians and providers who embody the patient-first philosophy, we are building a cardiovascular program that delivers exceptional care while keeping the patient at the center of every decision.”
As part of the initiative to bring Dr. Gerschutz and Dr. Meier on board, BVMP is investing in a second Findlay clinic location – Heart & Vascular Specialists of Northwest Ohio – Lake Cascades. The new office, situated at 1721 Medical Blvd, Suite A, is conveniently located near Blanchard Valley Hospital, making integrated care easy to access. Dr. Gerschutz and Dr. Meier will continue to perform interventional procedures at BVH as they have in the past.
With this expansion and BVHS’s partnership with The Ohio State University (OSU) Wexner Medical Center’s Heart & Vascular Network, BVHS is strengthening its dedication to making high-quality cardiovascular care more accessible.
“Welcoming Dr. Gerschutz and Dr. Meier into BVMP represents a pivotal moment for the cardiovascular program,” said Lisa Lawrence, MBOE, Director of Heart & Vascular Services at BVHS. “By uniting all of the cardiologists under the BVHS umbrella and strengthening the partnership with The Ohio State University, we are creating a seamless, patient-centered approach that will expand access, improve outcomes, and reinforce the commitment to delivering exceptional cardiac care for the community.”
Unifying BVHS’s cardiovascular care will provide a smoother experience for patients. This will be accomplished through standardizing care protocols, consolidating outpatient testing, and streamlining documentation and communication. Additionally, improved transitions between BVHS and OSU will strengthen continuity of care, ensuring smoother and more efficient collaboration between the two organizations, ultimately leading to even better patient outcomes.
Access to high-quality cardiovascular services is now more attainable than ever, with BVHS expanding care through satellite offices in Bluffton, Carey, North Baltimore, and Ottawa. These convenient locations ensure that patients across the region can receive advanced, patient-centered cardiovascular care close to home, reducing barriers to treatment and strengthening BVHS’s commitment to keeping care local.
Dr. Gerschutz, Dr. Meier, Clark, and Sloan are now accepting new patients.
