“This national recognition is proof positive of our team’s incredible talent and relentless drive to produce innovative and meaningful solutions to issues facing the health care industry,” CEO Christopher R. Vaught said. “I couldn’t be more proud of this team.”

The company started with seven employees and has now grown to over 60.
