Every1Matters at Practice Velocity

This morning the Practice Velocity staff was greeted with a peculiar site: balloons were peeking over the walls of every single cubicle in the building. It was quite a spectacle, and the staff had no idea that the celebration wasn’t just for the company as a whole – it was for each and every one of them as well.


You see, we reached a milestone this month at Practice Velocity, and today we took a moment to celebrate our success with the people who helped make it happen: our team members.

As of this month, Practice Velocity is now serving urgent care centers in 49 states. Fairlight Medical Center in Williston, North Dakota, came on board with us last week, becoming the first North Dakota clinic we have served. We now serve clinics in every state except South Dakota.

We are so thankful to all of our great customers for choosing Practice Velocity, who we couldn’t support or serve without the great team we have on staff. To reflect our appreciation of all who have touched our lives, today we unveiled our #1 core value: Every1Matters.

Every1Matters means every single team member, every single contact, and every single customer matters to Practice Velocity. At PV: I matter, we matter, you matter, every1matters.

As a gift to our team, we gave each of them a tumbler reflecting the Every1Matters message so they have a daily reminder that they matter. 


We all gathered together in one of the conference rooms and enjoyed some apple cider and apple cider donuts from a local orchard. To see photos from today's celebration, visit our Facebook page to view the the photo album.
