The April meeting of the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce featured a program by Renee Matthews, BSW RN, the administrator of Bluffton Hospital, a division of Blanchard Valley Health System.

For many, Matthews is a familiar face, and for nearly all, Bluffton Hospital is a familiar institution. The program was an opportunity to catch up on the most recent developments for Matthews and the hospital. Also providing updates was Albert Loayza, RNFA, operating room (OR) manager at Bluffton Hospital.

Banners along Ada's Main Street are celebrating spring. On this day they reflected the colors around them.
