(From Blanchard Valley Health System)

Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) has been included in Newsweek’s list of America’s Best-In-State Hospitals 2026. This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

Proximity and access are of the utmost importance when choosing between top hospitals. The America’s Best-In-State Hospitals 2026 ranking was created to identify the top hospitals at the state level. Hospitals from all U.S. states were eligible for the ranking and included in the nationwide survey. Four data sources were used for the evaluation: Hospital Quality Metrics, Hospital Reputation, Patient Experience, and a Statista PROMS Implementation Survey. As a result, the 800 hospitals that scored the highest across these criteria have been included on the list.

BVHS is honored to be recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best-In-State Hospitals 2026. It reinforces that BVHS excels in quality of care, has high patient satisfaction, and is one of the leading hospitals in the nation.

“At BVHS, we don’t strive for recognition simply for the sake of awards,” said Myron D. Lewis, MSW, MBA, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer at BVHS. “Each acknowledgment serves as a reflection of the exceptional care and commitment our team provides to those we serve every day. These honors remind us of our responsibility to deliver compassionate, high-quality care and to live out our mission in everything we do.”
