The award recognizes successful emerging companies across the Detroit Region. Each company is selected based on revenue and impact on Southeast Michigan’s economy through growth in employment, investments and community enhancement.
“We are honored to be counted as one of metro Detroit’s most successful and growing companies,” said James Giordano, president and chief executive officer for CareTech Solutions. “CareTech’s ability to be counted among the Future 50 of Greater Detroit can be attributed to the commitment and contributions our 700+ employees make every day to improving patient care while lowering healthcare costs for our client hospitals.”
