Inc.'s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and on society. Every 68 seconds another American is sexually assaulted, but currently, 70% of survivors do not seek care through the existing systems. Leda Health's mission is to meet every survivor of sexual assault where they're at with trauma-informed tools for care & healing.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Leda Health has been named to the Inc. 2022 Best in Business list in the Health Services category. Inc.'s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and on society.
The 3rd annual list identifies 241 private companies of all sizes and industries putting purpose ahead of profit. The missions these role model companies pursue lift them above the rest.
Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., says, "Inc. magazine is dedicated to showcasing America's most dynamic businesses and the great things they do. The Best in Business awards shine a light on those that have gone above and beyond their original mission to make a social, environmental or economic impact, benefiting those around them."
"Leda recognizes the decades of tireless work from the advocates, nonprofits, nurses, and prosecutors that have fought so hard to get survivors the resources that are available today. This has been heroic work," acknowledges Leda Health CTO Liesel Vaidya, "We want to continue to fight alongside them, using innovation to push the boundaries of the present system, to increase access to care to the 70% of survivors that currently do not seek help. Too many survivors are left suffering alone with no path to healing. That is a fact we are unwilling to accept and aim to change."
Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.'s editors reviewed the companies' achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. They then selected honorees in 55 different categories – from advertising to sustainability to retail, and more – and in age-based, revenue-based, size-based, and impact-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive – a huge success for the 241 honored in the list's third year. Honorees for general excellence across various industries and categories are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.
Earlier this year, Leda Health donated Early Evidence Kits and emergency contraceptive to Ukrainian organizations to aid in responding to sexual violence during the war with Russia.
