KENTON -- OhioHealth Hardin Memorial Hospital is expanding MRI availability with appointments will be available on two upcoming Saturdays this spring: April 26 and May 3. Beginning on May 19, MRI services will be offered every Monday (except Memorial Day), Tuesday, and Friday, ensuring consistent weekday availability for patients in Hardin County and surrounding areas.
By increasing MRI availability, the hospital aims to reduce scheduling barriers and provide more timely diagnoses for conditions such as orthopedic injuries, neurological disorders, and other medical concerns requiring advanced imaging.
Keith's Hardware has reported, "We would like to let everyone know that we are open from 8-5:30 Monday through Saturday.
"At this time the phone company decided to shut our phones off and supposedly have them scheduled to have them back on Tuesday the 8th instead of transferring them."
At noon on Monday, March 31, the keys and ownership of Keith's Hardware officially passed from Keith and Kathy Wire to Jason and Ursula Minich. The two local families, Century 21 Real Estate and Quest Federal Credit Union gathered on a day when the store closed for this purpose.
The Wires purchased Baker’s Hardware 45 years ago and first operated from rented space on Main St. They changed the name to Keith’s Hardware in 1986 and built the 106 S Johnson St store when part of their space was sold in 1989.
