DALLAS, TX- February 28, 2007 - PHNS Inc. announced that beginning March 5, 2007 PHNS will begin renovation of 13,439 square feet of the old Wal-Mart building in Batesville, Mississippi, to transform it into a state of the art regional service center. PHNS, a national healthcare services company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, has signed a ten-year lease with Utley Properties of Water Valley, Mississippi for the property. Renovation and upgrades to the building will cost nearly half a million dollars and are expected to take about eight weeks.
