Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS) and the Mayo Clinic are joining forces to present a “Live & Learn” educational presentation on Thursday, November 30, 2023. This event will focus on the science behind the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

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, will be presenting at this event. These experts will discuss the latest research and advancements in breast cancer prevention and treatment.

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

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

The presentation will take place via Zoom from noon to 1 p.m., and interested viewers can visit bvhs
