“Being named a Gator100 company two years in a row is a great honor,” said Bryan Stapp, President of Medical Care Alert. “With so many of our clients living in Florida, this award holds special significance for us.”
Medical Care Alert, the only Michigan-based company to receive the award, was ranked number 68 on the Gator100 list (up from number 88 in 2017) with a three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.27 percent. Results were compiled and certified by Ernst & Young.
