Careline Health Group will be honored at an awards ceremony during the 17th annual Michigan Celebrates Small Business gala event, July 20.

Careline Health Group provides Physician Services and Hospice to the frail and seriously ill population. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Careline Health Group employees committed to proactively care for vulnerable patients, families and communities by partnering with state and local health departments in a widespread effort to provide COVID-19 testing, education and vaccinations.

"Being a Michigan 50 Company to Watch is recognition of the Expect Exceptional mindset that runs through our DNA. We are excited to continuously expand what we do for our patients, families and community."

The Michigan 50 Companies to Watch are known for making a substantial economic impact and have proven that with this year's nominations totaling 559. This year has challenged businesses due to COVID-19, but many have proven to be valiant and continue to impact Michigan's economy despite the obstacles they have faced. Out of the applicants for this year's gala, each demonstrated innovation and growth, helping their small business create change in communities around Michigan.

"Small businesses create significant economic impact in communities all across Michigan, said Josh Hundt, Chief Business Development Officer and Executive Vice President at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. "We are excited to acknowledge and celebrate more than 80 small businesses this year who have been selected by their peers, communities, and small business support organizations and demonstrate the resiliency and impact of Michigan small businesses."
