Dear employees, suppliers, and clients,

I am truly grateful for all that you have done and continue to do that has allowed Medworks to enjoy a tremendously successful 2017. As with any story such as this, it is the commitment, determination, and hard work done in the trenches that make it happen. At Medworks, we call this GRIT. To our employees and independent consultants, thank you for the GRIT you have displayed throughout the year! To our suppliers, I thank you for trusting Medworks with your “best in class” products. Your day-to-day support is highly valued and much appreciated. To our clients, thank you for choosing to let us serve you. We know you have many choices. We are humbled that you allow us to assist you as you treat and heal patients.

2017 was a breakthrough year for Medworks. We started the year with 10 employees and 2 independent consultants (1 of whom was hired in December 2016). In 2017, we added 3 new employees, a marketing consultant, and are in the process of hiring for 2 new positions. Early in the year, with the help of our marketing consultant, Natalie Toalson McNamara, we uncovered our core values and clearly defined our mission. In June, we moved into an office location in Rockville, VA. We introduced a new logo and launched a completely revamped website. Both our sales and services segments showed healthy growth in 2017. We have increased revenue almost 40% year over year for the last 2 years in a row.

Finally, Medworks will expand its charitable outreach, giving back to our communities. We will continue to look for new opportunities for giving and participating towards the betterment of others. We believe that by doing this, we will constantly be reminded of how fortunate we all are. If we do what we can for others, our world will begin to change for the better.

I look forward to sharing 2018 with all of you!

Darrell Shires
President and CEO, Medworks
