Local Firm ranks second on Fortune Magazine Most Admired List


While the news about Dana stock is not good, and the jobs growth figures dispariging, I would like to report that one area company is prospering and has earned a 2nd place finish in their industry for the Most Admired Companies by Fortune Magazine.

HCR Manorcare continues to be a leader of health care in the nation. According to their Corporate Profile on their website "Manor Care, Inc., through its operating group HCR Manor Care, is the leading owner and operator of long-term care centers in the United States. Our nearly 60,000 employees have made us the preeminent care provider in the industry."

This news along with other recent announcements:

I think the future of the Toledo Business Market looks bright and hopefully will be able to create more jobs for our residents in the not to distant future.
