US Med-Equip Ranked on Inc. Magazine's List of
America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies for
the Fourth Year in a Row
1888 PressRelease - An innovator in medical
equipment rentals, sales, service and asset
management solutions, US Med-Equip has earned a
place on the Inc. 5000 list for four years
running. Houston, TX - Houston-based US
Med-Equip, Inc., was just announced to be on Inc.
magazine's 33rd annual Inc. 5005000, an
exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing
private companies based on revenue growth over
three years. "It's an honor to be included on
the Inc. 5000 for the fourth year in a row. This
is further validation of our mission to help
patients in need. Our employees truly believe in
the mission and help fulfill it on daily basis."
Gurmit Bhatia, President. The Inc. 5000 list
represents the most comprehensive look at the
most important segment of the economy-America's
independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as
Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino's Pizza,
LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names
gained early exposure as members of the Inc.
5005000. "With the addition of our GPO and IDN
contracts this year we expect to grow faster and
deeper than ever. We have great people who work
hard every day and are committed to taking care
of their customers. This is the 'not-so-secret'
secret to our success." Greg Salario, Vice
President.

US Med-Equip attributes much of its growth to
providing industry-leading technological
solutions and 24/7 personalized service to its
customers. Through the mySMARTS online portal, US
Med-Equip customers can manage their rental
inventory, view equipment maintenance history,
receive preventative maintenance notifications,
access financial statements, as well as place
online orders from an inventory of more than
20,000 products. In a time when the healthcare
industry is experiencing unprecedented financial
changes, US Med-Equip's mySMARTS system helps
hospitals and healthcare facilities lower rental
costs through access to actionable information
about their rental history. Customers also take
advantage of substantial cost savings through the
purchase of patient-ready, reconditioned
equipment held to the highest quality
standards. US Med-Equip has also responded to
the growing need for a low-cost asset management
solution for hospitals and healthcare facilities.
The STAR Trax system provides a cloud-hosted,

system with minimal investment. Headquartered in

offices in 15 locations over the next five years
that will double US Med-Equip's service
reach. The 2014 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at

in the September issue of Inc. (available on
