Brown County Women's Health (BCWH) was
incorporated June 11, 2012 in Ohio as a non-profit Limited Liability
Corporation (LLC).
BCWH spread its wings as a
result of Women's Services closing at the hospital in Georgetown,
OH. Drs. Patridge and Varnau lived in Georgetown, and had a
passion to continue caring for local women. They started this
non-profit OB/GYN practice. Drs. Patridge and Varnau together
have over 60+ years of experience in obstetrics and gynecology. Dr. Patridge passed away May 29, 2025.

years of service, moved to Georgetown, OH, December

I
have worked in the medical field for 28 years and have lived
in Brown County for 18 years. I have managed practices over
those years in Family and Internal Medicine, Pediatrics,
Psychiatry, OB/GYN, Infectious Disease, and Neurology. I
am a registered medical assistant through American Medical
Technologists and I have been a member of the Professional
Association of Healthcare Management since 2003 and earned
certification as a Certified Medical Manager in 2008. I
have an Associate’s degree from Southern State Community
College in Human and Social Services where I majored in
Chemical Dependency. I have been licensed in the State of
Ohio since 2009 as a Social Work Assistant. I am currently
working on my Bachelor’s Degree in Healthcare Management
through Ohio Christian University which will be completed in
February 2013.
In
my spare time I love to spend time with family – especially
my grandchildren. I also work with my pastor doing
volunteer work for Brown County probation department working
with offenders of domestic violence and those in need of
drug and alcohol counseling.
My
vision is that BCWH becomes known as a caring and friendly
practice that takes care of all the women’s health needs in
Brown County and surrounding communities.

I am
married to Ed and I have worked in the medical field for
many years working with Dr. Patridge and Dr. Varnau for 23
years. I am a certified medical assistant and have worked
on a degree in medical technology and enjoy working in the
healthcare field taking care of the patients helping to
deliver exceptional care. In my spare time, I volunteer
with Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars
spending much time setting up programs at the Ohio Veterans
Home and fund raising activities to raise money for much
needed support of our Veterans. I also enjoy reading in
my leisure time and spending time with my family.
I look
forward in helping bring women’s healthcare back to the
community that we have taken care of so long and look
forward to seeing past patients and future patients that we
will be providing healthcare for here in Georgetown.
