Miami, FL. (August 25, 2024) – Independent Living Systems (ILS) is proud to announce that it has been recognized on two prestigious lists by the South Florida Business Journal: the “Fastest-Growing Companies Over $25 Million” and the “Top 2024 Private 100 Companies.” These accolades underscore ILS’s continued commitment to providing innovative healthcare solutions that address the unique needs of vulnerable populations.

The honorees of the Fastest-Growing Companies were celebrated on August 22 during a
special reception at Gulfstream Park’s Sport of Kings Theater. This event showcased South Florida as a hub of world-class innovation, where companies like ILS are recognized for their groundbreaking solutions and contributions to the community.

According to the South Florida Business Journal, the companies featured on this year’s
“Fastest-Growing Companies” list share several attributes beyond their impressive triple- or quadruple-digit growth rates. They embody the dynamic nature of South Florida’s entrepreneurial spirit, reflecting the region’s diverse and burgeoning industries such as real estate development,
travel, healthcare, and pet care.

ILS, a leading provider of health and social services for vulnerable populations in Medicare, Medicaid, and Dual-Eligible markets, stands out for its ability to provide comprehensive, person-centered health and social care for the most vulnerable populations.

Nestor Plana, CEO of Independent Living Systems, expressed his gratitude for this recognition: “Being named on these two prestigious lists by the South Florida Business Journal is a tremendous honor and a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our entire team and our commitment to serving the most vulnerable. At ILS, we are committed to transforming healthcare by focusing on the needs of those often overlooked by traditional systems.”

The “Private 100” list celebrates the Top 100 privately held companies located in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties based on their annual revenues. Hundreds of companies annually apply to be considered for the SFBJ’s annual Private Companies list by submitting a survey and providing documentation to support their annual revenue figures.

Earlier this year, ILS was also named a finalist to the South Florida Business Journal Company of the Year Award recognizing outstanding businesses that demonstrate exceptional leadership, innovation, community involvement, and financial performance.

For over 20 years, ILS has served the most vulnerable populations with a compassionate team of over 1,400 people committed to improving the life of the most susceptible in our community and providing innovative systems of care helping people live independently.
