HEALTH STRATEGIES
OFFERS REHAB
The Hartford City YMCA will be hosting a new location opened by HealthStrategies in the fall for a rehabilitation facility.
It was announced recently that the regional rehabilitation company has entered into an agreement to share space with the Blackford County YMCA. Renovations to the 12,000 square-foot facility, located on Ind. 3 north of downtown Hartford City, will begin in the summer.
The facility will provide outpatient rehabilitation services, in addition to YMCA programs and activities.
HealthStrategies will provide physical and occupational therapies, intially, with speech-pathology therapy to be added once the renovations are complete.
MARSH RELEASES RESULTS
Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. has reported total sales from the fourth quarter and fiscal 2003 at $1,655,735,000, which is an increase of $13,136,000 over results from the same period last year.
Sales from comparable stores, which includes remodels, expansions and relocations, declined 3.1 percent from last year.
That decline has been credited to a difficult economic environment, which caused customers to trade down, high unemployment, food price deflation, the war in Iraq, increased competitive promotions and decreased square footage.
