• Reflects 92% Two-Year Revenue Growth 

Inc. Magazine today revealed that Guideway Care is No. 162 on its third annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: Southeast list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Southeast private companies, based in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and Tennessee. 

Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Southeast economy’s most dynamic segment–its independent small businesses.  

“We are honored to be included in this phenomenal list of the fastest growing companies in the Southeast region, a testament to the value of our care guidance solution to address and resolve Social Determinants of Health and other non-clinical barriers to accessing quality care,” says Craig, JD, CPA and CEO, Guideway Care. 

Parker attributes this recognition to the entire Guideway team, especially the work of Dr. Ed Partridge, Chief Medical Officer, whose decades of work in addressing health equity has truly served as our foundation in building a platform that improves patient outcomes. 

Guideway supports the healthcare community with an award-winning approach to finding and resolving non-clinical barriers that impact patients’ ability to best manage their care journey:

• Guideway’s Care Guides provide a human touch to support patients and caregivers and help them overcome issues that may occur outside of clinical settings or hospital walls. 

• An executive team that interacts and supports Guideway business partners — hospitals, payers, employers and others throughout the healthcare ecosystem. 

• Technology professionals who continually refine the Care Guidance operating platform. 

• Administrative staffers who manage and coordinate day-to-day activities. 

• Investors who believe in the value of Guideway Care and its growing position in the healthcare marketplace.
