For the Third Consecutive Year, Keystone Perfusion Services Makes the Inc. 5000 List with Three-Year Revenue Growth of 410 Percent
NEW YORK, August 17, 2021 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Keystone Perfusion Services PC again made the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This marks the third consecutive year that the provider of Cardiovascular Perfusionist Staffing has been ranked on the list. The Inc. 5000 represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.
Earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 list gets harder every year as it is based on a company’s initial starting point by revenue upon first applying. Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years, only a fraction has made the list more than once. This year Keystone Perfusion makes the list yet again after the company saw remarkable growth, with revenue increasing by more than 400% between 2017 and 2020.
“It’s an incredible honor to be named to the Inc. 5000 once again, especially to be among the prestigious few companies who have made the list in consecutive years,” said Louis Verdetto founder and CEO. “As the need for critical clinical staff increases throughout the country, we are there to meet that demand. We are investing in our people and national expansion to ensure that our partners can continue to deliver quality patient care.” “Making the Inc. 5000 list this year is a testament to the incredible hard work and dedication of our staff who worked tirelessly throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Our organization wouldn’t be where it is today without our hardworking staff and this award is dedicated to them.”
Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc., which will be available on newsstands on August 20.
“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”

Methodology
Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2017 to 2020. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2017. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2020. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2017 is $100,000; the minimum for 2020 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 three decimal places. There was one tie on this year’s Inc. 5000. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
About Keystone Perfusion Services PC
Keystone Perfusion Services is a Nationwide key supplier of Cardiovascular Perfusionist staffing. Perfusionists are vital members of the cardiovascular surgical team because they are responsible for running the heart-lung (cardiopulmonary bypass) machine. The heart-lung machine diverts blood away from the heart and lungs, adds oxygen to the blood, then returns the blood to the body—all without the blood having to go through the heart. During cardiac surgery, perfusionists use the heart-lung machine to maintain blood flow to the body’s tissues and regulate levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood while the cardiac surgeon performs surgery on the heart.
