Miller’s Health Systems, Inc. assumes management responsibilities at the former Bradner Village in Marion
Management Changes Take Shape for Bradner Village Healthcare
On December 1st, Miller’s Health Systems, Inc, began a 15-year lease of Bradner Village Healthcare Center from Mainstreet Capital Partners. Mainstreet, a company with ties to Marion, purchased Bradner Village from the current owner Eric Walts, also effective December 1st. “We’re proud to become a part of the Marion community,” stated Patrick Boyle, President and CEO of Miller’s Health Systems. “We’re a 100% employee-owned company, and after a year of employment with us, the eligible employees from Bradner Village will also become beneficial owners of Miller’s Health Systems. We believe this is a great opportunity for all involved. We look forward to getting to know the medical community in Marion and introducing them to our company.”
As part of the transition, the current Bradner Village Healthcare facility will be renamed Miller’s Merry Manor, making it one of thirty-two healthcare and rehabilitation facilities and eleven assisted living communities operated by Miller’s Health Systems. After 43 years of serving communities throughout Indiana, Miller’s is regarded by the health care community as a leader in the senior rehabilitation and healthcare industry. Select locations offer private Medicare Rehabilitation Suites, and specialized technology including Accelerated Care Plus modalities (ACP) along with their new Omnicycle. This therapy lineup is used to treat orthopedic, cardiovascular and neurological conditions, as well as wound care, pain management and other medical issues. Premier Dining is an additional service unique to Miller’s Merry Manor offering expanded daily menu choices, optional dining times and open seating. Various locations may also offer outpatient rehabilitation, specialty care for Alzheimer’s disease, Hospice care, and Adult Day Care services.
As part of the management transition, Boyle announced the appointment of John Velasquez to the position of Administrator. During his tenure with Miller’s Health Systems, Velasquez has served in capacities around the State, with latest assignments including Administrator at the Hobart and Hartford City locations. Velasquez is originally from the Marion area and is a graduate of Ball State University where he recently completed a Master’s Degree in Health Sciences and Gerontology. He mentors undergraduate students at Ball State University as a Chapter Advisor for Phi Delta Theta, and enjoys a variety of the martial arts. Velasquez, his wife and 2 children live in Hartford City.
