Encore Ranks No. 47 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 & Cleveland's Fastest-Growing Private Company
For the second consecutive year, Encore Wound Care has landed in the top 50 of America's fastest-growing private companies, ranking No. 1 in Cleveland, No. 3 in Ohio, and No. 6 in healthcare nationally with 5,515% three-year revenue growth.
Encore Wound Care has been named the No. 1 fastest-growing private company in the Cleveland metropolitan area on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list — ranking No. 47 nationally with 5,515% three-year revenue growth. The recognition also places Encore at No. 3 in Ohio and No. 6 in the Healthcare & Medical sector nationwide.
This marks Encore's second consecutive year in the top 50, following a No. 32 debut on the 2025 list. Back-to-back appearances in the top 1% of honorees reflect sustained demand for Encore's partnership model, which brings specialized wound care providers directly to the bedside in assisted living, long-term care, and skilled nursing facilities across eight states.
We're incredibly proud to make back-to-back appearances on the list. It's a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and partners. Every percentage point of that growth represents facilities that trusted us with their residents, clinicians who chose to build their careers here, and patients who healed faster because expert care came to them.
— Neall French, President, Encore Wound Care
What's Driving the Growth
Encore's momentum has been fueled by expansion into new markets, targeted acquisitions, and the adoption of advanced treatment modalities and technologies. The company has also invested in the Encore Wound Care Academy, which offers accredited continuing education for nurses — an initiative that both deepens clinical capability within its network and reinforces Encore's commitment to the broader wound care community.
The Inc. 5000 median three-year revenue growth rate was 130% — Encore's 5,515% growth rate is more than 42 times that benchmark.
This ranking belongs to the whole team, but I'd like to give a special shout out to our clinicians. They're in facilities every day doing meaningful work and improving outcomes ... one wound, one resident, one facility at a time.
— Tyler Burke, Central Region CEO, Encore Wound Care
Built to Scale Without Compromise
Sustaining this pace of growth requires more than demand — it requires infrastructure. Encore has invested deliberately in its clinical teams, technology, and the operational systems that allow it to expand into new markets without sacrificing the quality its facility partners and patients count on.
Sustained growth at this pace requires discipline, not just demand. We've invested deliberately in our clinical teams, in technology, and in the infrastructure that lets us scale without compromising the quality our facility partners and patients count on. This recognition validates that approach.
— Craig Waters, Chief Financial Officer, Encore Wound Care
