Methodology

Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 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.

Editors Pick! Slide into the Winter Season with a modern fable with a unique twist on old themes.

Leave a comment


Younger readers will relish Amia’s imaginative talent, and Dee’s simple lesson of self-worth, paired with a reminder to be sensitive to others, lands well. Just as Amia learns to value her individuality, the townspeople must also learn to embrace the strengths of even their youngest residents. There’s no snow necessary to appreciate this heartfelt ode to self-acceptance.

Takeaway: A birthday wish gone wrong leads to a lesson on embracing personal strengths.

5 Star Review by Amy Louise Hill for Readers’ Favorite

The Snow Monster by Jodi Dee is a picture book for young children that tells an unusual story of a young girl named Amia who made a wish on her birthday. Amia loved snow and her wish was to be able to eat all the snow in the world. Amia couldn’t believe that her wish had been granted and headed outside to use her new superpower. But unfortunately for Amia, her neighbors reacted badly to her eating all the snow as there wasn’t any left for the other children to play in. Amia was banned from going outside in the winter and had to spend her birthdays indoors, watching the other children playing happily outdoors. One day, the town went into emergency mode, and Amia’s power was needed to save her neighbors. What do you think happened to the neighborhood? Find out in this charming book.

The Snow Monster by Jodi Dee was a pleasure to read. It is unlike any other story that I’ve encountered, and that’s what kept me interested. I was more intrigued with each page I read. I loved every word and I know children will too. The writing is simple yet descriptive, which allows you to easily imagine the scenes in your head. The illustrations by Chandrani Das are adorable and gave me a Christmassy feel. This book will make the perfect bedtime story or boredom breaker. Children are going to love it and I hope I get the chance to read more from this incredible author soon. Keep up the great work, Jodi, and stay creative.

Animal ER Care, Southern Colorado’s Only VECCS Level II Certified Clinic Offers Summer Pet Safety Tips

Leave a comment


Organization placing heavy focus helping neighbors avoid Xylitol-based Marijuana accidents

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. , Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Animal ER Care (AERC), Southern Colorado’s only VECCS Level II certified emergency animal clinic is offering pet owners in the region summer safety tips to help avoid emergency situations with their cherished animals in order to best enjoy the summer season in Colorado.

Each tip for pet owners was established based on the experience of AERC doctors and staff caring for over 15,000 emergent and urgent care cases annually.

AERC is the region’s only VECCS Level II certified clinic making it 1/9 within the entire nation to reach this designation. A level II emergency and critical care facility has the medical staff, support personnel, specialized equipment, and staff training necessary to provide high-quality emergent and critical patient care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. To be certified as Level II, the facility must comply with all Level II requirements listed in the VECCS Facilities Certification Guidelines.

“I am very proud of the team for achieving such an important and critical designation with our VECCS certification,” said Gabrielle David, Certified Veterinary Technician, Chief Executive Officer of AERC. “Our team works tirelessly every day to honor each family that entrusts our team with their animal’s emergency medical needs. Being the only entity holding this certification in El Paso County, it is our promise to the region that we are solely focused on treating each patient that comes into either of our facilities at one of the highest national levels.”

AERC has many useful tips to help pet-parents avoid emergencies when enjoying Colorado’s warm weather including a breakout of pets coming to the clinics due to ingesting the potentially deadly chemical Xylitol found in recreational/medical marijuana edibles. AERC hot weather safety pet tips include:

1. Keep your pet hydrated. Use water and shade during hot days, repeat hydration each hour when enjoying the hot weather.

2. Never leave your pet in the car during hot days, this includes leaving them with the windows down, never do it as even with windows open, cars can rapidly rise to deadly temperatures.

3. Use leashes in parks and on trails. Colorado recreation areas are heavily populated with pets and families during the summer and with the increase of park usage can come with lack of leash usage and animals have increased opportunities to fight and injure one another or busy roads which can lead to being hit by a car.

4. Snakes. There are many types of snakes that can bite and hurt pets. Another reason for leashes in open spaces across the region. AERC has advised media partners in 2023 on this topic.

5. Avoid Xylitol and its inclusion in the formulation of most marijuana infused products such as brownies and gummies.

AERC urges pet owners to store their marijuana in secure locations and be aware of pets eating items of this nature from the ground in parks, trails and most importantly at home. The FDA warns of the dangers of Xylitol here.

“Heat, lack of water, wildlife and now the massive influx of Xylitol-based products along with any products containing THC are leading causes of accidental illnesses that bring patients to our doors,” added David. “Our goal is to help pet families in the region avoid using our facilities as much as possible and these simple tips could help achieve this. We are ready 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to serve sick and injured pets and want the public to know our team is dedicated to this mission but there are some ways to avoid taking a pet to an emergency clinic in the summertime.”

About AERC:

Animal ER Care provides exceptional patient care while simultaneously supporting the client’s emotional needs. The organization is dedicated to helping its clients make the best decision for their beloved family member, in balance with their financial resources, through conversation and involvement in the medical decisions for their pet. Equally, AERC is committed to fostering a healthy work environment for its staff built on the foundation of support, mentoring, enrichment, and appreciation.

Because of the large number of incoming cases at any given time, AERC has developed a triage index system to help prioritize incoming cases which allows its doctors to examine patients based on criticality, in conjunction with the time of arrival. This system has helped save countless lives because it reduced the wait time for these emergent cases. Some of the conditions that AERC emergency veterinarians treat include trauma, shock, respiratory distress, seizures, bleeding disorders, allergic reactions, fractures, vomiting, and diarrhea.
