Accessibility Services, Inc. Among 2015 Florida Companies to Watch℠ Honorees

Leading Provider of Environmental Control Units Chosen From Over 500 Nominees

Accessibility Services, Inc. (ASI) announced today that it is among 50 statewide companies selected from more than 500 nominees for Florida Companies to Watch℠, a statewide program managed by economic development group GrowFL, in association with the Edward Lowe Foundation. ASI joins an esteemed group of honorees who will be recognized with this prestigious award on Thursday, November 5th at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando, Florida.

“We are thrilled to be part of the Florida Companies to Watch class of 2015,” says Maggie Thompson, President of ASI. “I applaud GrowFL and the Edward Lowe Foundation for taking time to recognize the hard work and sacrifices businesses such as ASI make everyday to contribute to the economic prosperity of our state. We are excited for all the winners!”

Thompson took the helm of ASI in 2009 when her husband and ASI founder, Fred Thompson, retired. Thompson made the decision to lead her company down an ambitious path toward becoming the leading provider of environmental control units (ECU’s) in the country. Her substantial investment in research and development paid off as the $800,000 company grew to become the $7,000,000 enterprise it is today.

“We were able to accomplish these goals because of the hard work of our outstanding team,” explains Thompson. “This award would not have been possible without our dedicated and committed employees.”

According to GrowFL, ASI’s management team, competitive market position and strong community involvement were among several factors that put them in contention for the award.

The 50 companies named the 2015 Florida Companies to Watch generated a total of more than $1.2 billion in revenue and added nearly 1,000 employees between 2011 and 2014.

Together, the companies project a 23 percent increase in revenue and 19 percent increase in job growth in 2015.

“These stand-out companies are all led by entrepreneurs, and have demonstrated their capacity and intent to grow,” said Dr. Tom O’Neal, executive director of the Florida Economic Gardening Institute and associate vice president for the University of Central Florida’s Office of Research and Commercialization. “They also all have critical intellectual property or a niche position that gives them a competitive edge in their markets.”

Groundbreaking Commemorates New Facility Designed to Diversify Offerings and Create Jobs

(Micanopy, FL) – Goodwin Company, pioneers of River-Recovered® heart pine and cypress, proudly announce the groundbreaking of their new facility. The expansion is part of a partnership with Heritage Wood Finishing Company and will bring new jobs to the region.

“Goodwin Company has experienced steady growth and success here in Alachua County,” said Carol Goodwin, President of Goodwin Company. “We look forward to contributing to years of future success in this region.”

Goodwin Company is active in the effort to spur growth opportunities for the region’s manufacturing industry as a whole. The company has been a steady presence on the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Advanced Manufacturing Council, which has been instrumental in regional efforts to develop a manufacturing talent pipeline and advance policy decisions that support industry growth.

“We are elated to celebrate the growth of Goodwin Company and the job opportunities it will bring to the region,” said Susan Davenport, President/CEO of the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce. “We look forward to supporting the future success of manufacturing companies like Goodwin Company here in Alachua County.”

Goodwin Company was the first reclaimed wood manufacturer to produce engineered flooring in the United States (at the time, all other domestic companies were importing it from overseas). Today, consumer demand for pre-finished and custom color floors continues to grow. As a result, Goodwin has partnered with Heritage Wood Finish Company to develop proprietary, custom finishes specifically formulated for resinous River-Recovered® wood. The new facility will enable Goodwin to offer a variety of finish and color options, while providing acclimatized storage for engineered and factory finished stock.

“Our customers spoke and we have responded,” said Goodwin. “‘Install Ready’ flooring is in high demand. However, pre-finishing River-Recovered® wood is a challenge because of its resinous nature. Our proprietary, specially formulated coatings – one of which is second in hardness only to diamonds – allows us to satisfy the needs of customers who do not want to finish their floor on site. So, whether someone would like a clear pre-finished floor, or a custom color, we are now able to deliver!”

According to Goodwin, the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of North Florida (FSBDC at UNF) played an integral role in the expansion.

“We’ve been working with Goodwin Company over the course of several years to help identify new market opportunities,” explains Dr. Phillip Geist, MBA, CBCP, CGBP, Area Director for the FSBDC at UNF. “We conducted a financial analysis and developed strategic and business plans designed to diversify Goodwin’s offerings to meet customer demand. This, in turn, will create new jobs and further contribute to the economic vitality of the region.”

Vein Center at NYU Langone First Academic Institution to Receive National Vein Center Accreditation

Recognition Demonstrates Commitment to Quality Vein Care For Those with Vein Disorders

NEW YORK, June 10, 2014 – The Vein Center at NYU Langone Medical Center announced that it is the first academic medical center to receive official vein center accreditation from the InterSocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC). The accreditation recognizes NYU Langone’s commitment to success in providing quality evaluation, care, and treatment for patients with vein disorders, which affect more than 50 percent of people over the age of 50.

“At NYU Langone’s Vein Center, we are committed to providing the highest level of care for our patients who suffer from venous disorders,” said Lowell S. Kabnick, MD, associate professor and director of the Vein Center at NYU Langone. “This recognition truly supports our goal of achieving the best patient outcomes through the use of advanced treatments and innovative techniques to manage and treat vein diseases individually in each patient.”

IAC Vein Center Accreditation is designed to accredit top facilities that perform evaluation and management of superficial venous disorders including sclerotherapy, ambulatory phlebectomy, venous ablation, and wound care. Accreditation is granted only to facilities providing quality patient care, as assessed by a panel of experts, in compliance with the IAC Vein Center Standards, which is an effective and established model for ensuring patient safety and minimal standards of care. The accreditation program is supported by national medical societies related to vein disorders which each serve as sponsoring organizations, including The American College of Surgeons (ACS); Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery (SCVS), and Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR).

According to the Vascular Disease Foundation, nearly 25 million people suffer from vein disorders, which can include varicose veins, reticular veins, spider veins, and venous leg ulcers. These conditions are often hereditary although hormonal factors such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, and the use of birth control pills also affect veins. However, with proper evaluation and treatment which can include a combination of medication or surgery, patients are able to reduce pain, increase blood flow through the entire body, and enhance external appearance.

About the Vein Center at NYU Langone Medical Center

The Vein Center at NYU Langone Medical Center is a recognized leader in vascular care not only in New York City, but in the world. Their comprehensive programs bridge the gap between the laboratory and the clinic, leading to top-quality patient care informed by world-renowned research programs. Part of the NYU Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, the Vein Center is comprised of experienced surgeons, physicians and medical staff who focus on minimally invasive approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins and other venous disorders.
