“Our tremendous and continued year-over-year growth and consistent ascent on the Inc. 5000 is clear evidence that our innovative, end-to-end specialty pharmaceutical solutions and patient-centric care approach are making a transformative impact on the global healthcare ecosystem for the clients we serve and patients we support,” says Dea Belazi, CEO and co-founder, AscellaHealth. “This high ranking as one of the country’s most successful and fastest-growing companies reflects the expansive network of partnerships we have established and the diverse range of services that are key to our success. We have played a pivotal role in successfully launching products and implementing highly effective market access strategies through our strategic partnerships with leading pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers, payer organizations and healthcare companies globally. These efforts have accelerated patient access to specialty therapies and optimized clinical outcomes for individuals with complex or rare conditions. Our tailored, consultative approach streamlines processes, leading to significant cost savings for our clients. The entire AscellaHealth team takes pride in these achievements, contributing to our incredible three-year revenue growth rate.”

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting Tuesday, August 13, and the top 500 appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 20.

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”

Belazi continues, “The growing pipeline of specialty, rare disease and cell and gene therapies, especially for individuals with complex conditions, continues to drive the need for our global corporate footprint. We are profoundly grateful to play a role in enhancing access to treatment and enabling patients to achieve greater access to care and an optimized treatment journey. Our unique approach and patient-centric care model reinforce our unwavering commitment to developing innovative solutions and programs that deliver real differentiated value to our clients, partners and patients. As we continue to expand, our focus remains on improving patient outcomes, fostering strong partnerships and driving transformative change in the healthcare landscape.”

In addition to four consecutive features on the Inc. 5000 list, AscellaHealth has been named one of “America’s Fastest Growing Companies” the last two years by Financial Times. In 2024, AscellaHealth won Silver at the Stevie American Business Awards, and in 2023, AscellaHealth was featured as Deloitte Fast 500 Fastest Growing Company. AscellaHealth was recognized as the Life Sciences and Healthcare Company of the Year at the 2023 PACT Enterprise Awards and the Company’s specialty pharmacy, Optime Care, earned the prestigious Leaders in Performance Measurement award from URAC, the nation’s largest independent health care accreditation organization, for demonstrated commitment to improving healthcare quality through continuous quality improvement.

Methodology

Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
