For over 16 years, Misty Hayden has volunteered as a Marion Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassador. In this role, she gets to welcome new businesses to Marion, as well as thanking existing chamber members for their membership.
“This is a fun group of people I get to be around,” says Misty. “I enjoy getting to know new businesses in Marion, and it’s terrific to be a part of all the great things the Chamber offers.”
For many businesses in Ohio and across the country, the cost of doing business is going up. Prices for materials, supplies, rent, and even electricity are all rising. When operational costs go up, it can be harder for small businesses to make a profit.
Throughout the country, businesses are having a hard time finding enough workers. This is called a labor shortage, and it can make it tough for companies to grow. Without enough employees, businesses may not be able to serve all their customers or take on new projects.
Ohio’s healthcare industry is undergoing significant changes, with independent medical practices facing increasing pressure from larger healthcare systems. As consolidation trends continue, independent providers must navigate challenges such as rising operational costs, shifting reimbursement models, and competition from hospital-affiliated networks. At First Citizens National Bank, we recognize the financial strain this shift places on independent practices and offer solutions to help them remain competitive.
