Jackson Healthcare
Ranked 48th of All Health Companies on Inc. Magazine's 2008 List of
5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies
Second Annual Inc. 5000 survey recognizes Alpharetta-based
Company for outstanding growth, and success in navigating troubled
economy.
ALPHARETTA, Ga., (February 28, 2008) - Jackson Healthcare (JH)
has been named to Inc. magazine's second annual Inc. 5000, a
prestigious listing of the nation's fastest growing and most
entrepreneurial private companies. Jackson Healthcare is ranked
40th on the list when ranking companies by gross dollars of growth
and 60th on the list when ranking companies by total revenues.
These rankings represent significant growth as Jackson Healthcare
revenues were over 260 million dollars in 2006. Jackson Healthcare
improved its overall ranking from 1,670 to 1247th overall.
Factors contributing to Jackson Healthcare's high rankings are a
48% growth in revenues year over year, its innovation in the
staffing and healthcare IT business, and numerous recent awards
including placing 8th on the 2007 Atlanta Business Chronicle's
"Best Places to Work" annual list.
The Inc. 5000 is an expansion of the longstanding Inc. 500,
which was introduced in 1982 to recognize the nation's fastest
growing, top entrepreneurial companies. The Inc. 5000 includes the
Inc. 500 but digs deeper to offer the most comprehensive look ever
at the entrepreneurial engine driving the U.S. economy. In
particular, companies that made the Inc. 5000 list continue to
thrive despite continued stagnation in the economy.
"It's rewarding to be recognized for our growth and contribution
to both healthcare and the economy - especially alongside so many
prestigious companies," states Jackson Healthcare's Executive Vice
President, Shane Jackson. "By addressing healthcare's most pressing
needs with innovative and practical solutions, we're able to
sustain rapid yet steady growth and are well-positioned for another
strong year."

of Atlanta's fastest-growing companies in April 2007. JH was also
