Wellpointe Inc. Celebrates its Fourth Consecutive Appearance and Its Highest Ranking Yet on the Nation's Most Prestigious List of Private Companies
CHICAGO, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wellpointe Inc., a leading provider of affordable, boutique-style residential assisted living and related healthcare services, has announced it has been ranked No. 625 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This marks Wellpointe's fourth consecutive appearance on the list and its highest placement to date. The list recognizes companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.
"Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 for the fourth consecutive year — and achieving our highest ranking yet — is a direct reflection of our team's continued commitment to democratizing access to quality housing and care for older adults," said George Kutnerian, Co-Founder and CEO of Wellpointe Inc. "From unveiling Viva L.A. at Warner Center, a 3,192-unit, 100% affordable senior housing community in Woodland Hills, including winning the Grand Award for Best-On-The-Boards Affordable Housing Community at the PCBC Gold Nugget Awards, to the rapid expansion of capacity in our core markets, we have continued to invest in social infrastructure that promotes equitable access to housing and care that strengthens the communities that we serve."
This year's Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
"Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement."
