Primary Health Solutions is proud to share that Brandi Ballantyne, DNP, Chief Health Officer, has been named a 2026 Health Care Hero Award winner in the Nursing category by the Cincinnati Business Courier.
The Health Care Heroes Awards recognize individuals across the region making a meaningful impact through leadership, compassion, and dedication to improving health outcomes. Brandi was recognized for her commitment to patient-centered care and her leadership in expanding access to services for underserved communities.
As Chief Health Officer, Brandi leads clinical operations across Primary Health Solutions, guiding integrated medical, dental, and behavioral health teams with a focus on collaboration and whole-person care. She also continues to serve patients directly, keeping leadership decisions grounded in the real needs of patients and care teams.
A lifelong Butler County resident, Brandi has dedicated her career to breaking down barriers to care — through expanding services, strengthening school-based and community programs, and supporting innovative care models that address both physical and behavioral health needs.
The Health Care Hero Award celebrates not only professional excellence, but the heart behind the work. For Brandi, nursing and leadership are more than roles—they are a calling to serve, advocate and build healthier communities for all.
Primary Health Solutions congratulates Brandi on this well-deserved honor and thanks her for the compassion, vision and leadership she brings to our mission every day.
