On Thursday, November 30, 2023, Blanchard Valley Health System and the Mayo Clinic are partnering to present a “Live & Learn” educational presentation on the science behind the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

The presenters for this event include Dr. Bill Kose, vice president of special projects for BVHS; Dr. Derek Thomas, a physician with The Armes Family Cancer Care Center; and Dr. Sandhya Pruthi, a physician with Mayo Clinic. These experts will discuss the latest research and advancements in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

As a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, Blanchard Valley Health System is the first Ohio-based healthcare provider to have this distinction. This partnership allows BVHS to work closely with Mayo Clinic specialists to provide the most advanced medical knowledge and treatment options to patients in Northwest Ohio.

By collaborating with Mayo Clinic, BVHS doctors can access the latest research, diagnostic tools, and treatment recommendations. This allows them to develop personalized treatment plans for their patients, including those with cancer. BVHS physicians also have the opportunity to consult with Mayo Clinic experts and submit cases for evaluation.

The presentation will take place on Zoom from noon to 1 p.m. Those interested in viewing the presentation can visit bvhs.info/LiveandLearn. Questions can be submitted in advance by emailing [email protected], and further assistance can be obtained by calling 419.423.5551
