Tiell Financial Group Announces New Office Build

Tiell Financial Group, a company known for its unwavering commitment to its clients and community, is thrilled to announce its newest venture: the construction of a brand-new office. For over two decades, Tiell Financial Group has been a pillar in Bascom, and is ready to embark on this exciting journey.


Founded more than 20 years ago, Tiell Financial Group started as a modest operation with just two employees and a small office on the corner of State Route 18. Over the years, their dedication to their clients and the local community has allowed them to flourish and expand, growing their team to include 12 exceptional members.


As part of their commitment to continued growth and service excellence, Tiell Financial Group has taken the opportunity to purchase the vacant lot left by the decommission and removal of St. Patrick Church. This strategic decision will pave the way for the construction of their new office, which is expected to break ground in the Spring of 2024.


The new office build is not just about growth for Tiell Financial Group; it's also about honoring the cherished traditions and contributions of the property. The company plans to maintain its strong community ties by continuing to host events like the annual community Easter Egg Hunt, providing ample parking space for the Memorial Day Parade line-up, and other initiatives.


While plans for the new office are still being finalized, Tiell Financial Group is committed to keeping the community updated on the project's progress in the coming months.

Promotion

Congratulations to Mercy Health - Tiffin Hospital, President Andrew Morgan, and the entire team on celebrating an incredible milestone of 110 years of serving our community this year!


Their legacy began with the combined efforts of the Sisters of Mercy, Diocese of Toledo and community leaders coming together to bring healthcare to the community of Tiffin and surrounding Seneca county. The hospital's history dates to 1913 when a four-story building was constructed on West Market Street on 7 acres of land. The original hospital on Market Street in Tiffin had multiple expansions to meet the needs of the community, until the construction of the new state-of-the-art facility facility on St. Lawrence Drive.


Mercy Health - Tiffin Hospital has earned ranking among healthcare providers and insurers in Modern Healthcare’s 2023 Best Places to Work award program for five consecutive years. The hospital is also one of 20 facilities identified on the Small Community Hospitals as a 100 Top Hospitals, according to an independent quality analysis provided by PINC AI and reported by Fortune.

Join the Seneca Regional Chamber Ambassadors as they host a Ribbon Cutting to celebrate the new location of Outland Insurance Agency at 484 West Market Street in Tiffin. The Ribbon Cutting will begin at 4 PM with an open house until 6 PM.
