CHICAGO, April 11, 2007 - MedSpeed LLC, a rapidly growing
healthcare transportation and logistics company, today announced it
has received the 2007 Annual Award for Business Excellence from The
Business Ledger, the premier business newspaper for suburban
Chicago.
The Annual Awards for Business Excellence recognize companies
that exhibit rapid growth, demonstrated leadership and superior
business practices. MedSpeed, which is based in Elmhurst, Ill., and
has 100 employees, was one of four companies selected for the
award's mid-sized company category.
In the seven years since its founding, MedSpeed has brought the
once-foreign concept of outsourcing healthcare transportation and
logistics to life. The company today partners with several leading
healthcare organizations in the broader Chicagoland area including
the Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare System, Rush Medical Laboratories
and the University of Illinois - Chicago Medical Center. And, the
company has been rapidly expanding its footprint, forming
healthcare
transportation outsourcing partnerships with organizations in
Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
"More and more healthcare organizations are opting to outsource
their transportation and logistics functions as an effective way to
manage costs, improve reliability and facilitate profitable
growth," said Steve Muscarello, co-founder of MedSpeed. "MedSpeed
is at the forefront of this emerging trend and we're proud of the
meaningful benefits we have delivered to clients and the success we
have achieved. We are honored to share this award with our
dedicated employees and
all of our healthcare clients who recognize the value of
partnering with MedSpeed on innovative transportation
solutions."
"As has consistently been the case, we received many outstanding
nominations for the 2007 Annual Awards for Business Excellence,"
said Don Kopriva, vice president and editor of The Business Ledger.
"While selecting only 20 recipients was difficult, we feel as
though the winners truly do stand out, demonstrating an
unparalleled commitment to business growth, leadership and
community service."
The American Business Awards selection committee is comprised of
representatives from corporate sponsors, local business
associations, previous recipients and the editorial staff of The
Business Ledger. The Annual Awards for Business Excellence will be
