Henry County Hospital Expands Access to Care with New Location in Defiance County

Henry County Hospital is proud to announce the opening of Riverview Health of Defiance – A Partner of Henry County Hospital, located at 100 Stadium Drive, Suite B, in Defiance. The facility is expected to open in early October and will focus on meeting the growing need for specialized care in the region by offering pain management services provided by Thomas Kindl, MD and Samantha Nienberg, CNP.

“Access to specialized healthcare is one of the most pressing challenges facing communities today,” said Kristi Barnd, CEO at Henry County Hospital. “By establishing Riverview Health of Defiance, our goal is to bring advanced pain management treatment closer to home, ensuring patients don’t have to travel far or face long wait times to see trusted providers. This expansion underscores our mission to improve access and deliver high-quality, compassionate care where it is needed most.”

The decision to open Riverview Health of Defiance reflects both a growing demand for pain management services and Henry County Hospital’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to care across northwest Ohio. Chronic pain impacts thousands of residents in the area, yet access to specialized treatment often requires significant travel or extended delays. Riverview Health of Defiance aims to close that gap.

“With a new location in Defiance, our intent is to improve accessibility by providing patients with additional options so they can receive the care they need, when they need it,” Barnd added.

The new facility will bring the same patient-centered approach that has long been the hallmark of Henry County Hospital in Napoleon, delivered by a team committed to helping individuals improve their quality of life through effective pain management strategies.
