Individuals make laundry lists, “honey-do” lists, grocery lists and task themselves to follow. Consumer rags present “best seller” lists, “sexiest man/woman on earth” lists, “cheapest vacation” lists that divert the attention from those “tasked” individuals. Business magazines publish success lists, “The Fortune 500,” “Top 100 Most Innovative Companies",”Top 100 Franchises" on which companies aspire to appear.

The world runs on lists! Tongues wag over lists. Controversy starts (and, sometimes, ends).  Bragging commences.

And that’s what we’re doing here. Bragging. Not only has VCS landed on the 2010 Inc. 500/5000 list as one of the fastest growing, US-based, independent, private companies (#1597), but we’ve done it for 4 years in a row. A cynic would cite healthcare reform mandates as catalyst for driving VCS’s fortune; but a realist would cite the lingering recession as evidence that, unlike other B2B businesses, VCS continues to experience 3-digit annual revenue growth.

We must be doing something right.

So, we’ll thank our clients for their confidence in us and brag about our vision: to provide exceptional service and maintain unparalleled customer loyalty by providing high-quality, cost-effective solutions while acting with integrity at all times. And we’ll thank our employees for their effort and brag about the second half of our vision: to maintain a culture that cares about our people, their families, and the communities in which they live.
