You need to have all text in an HTML doc in some kind 
of markup. Otherwise, you may get unpredictable 
results with placement. I've seen browsers that would 
place your "Louisville Medical Center Development 
Corporation" line at the top of the page simply because 
it has no markup.

You should at least have it wrapped in paragraph tags, 
or a span tag. You can use your style sheet to control 
spacing, if your intent is to exercise that degree of 
control over layout.
