The company has appeared in Inc. Magazine HistoryMedical Guardian was founded by Geoff Gross in 2005.[2] Initially, he ran the company out of his Philadelphia, Pennsylvania apartment. He made the first couple thousand sales by himself, directly marketing to seniors by phone.[2][3] By April 2013, the company had grown to 50 employees and moved to a new headquarters and call center in Center City, the Downtown Philadelphia area.[4][5][3] In May 2014, the company reached a deal with the Cambria County to supply the local agency with rental monitoring equipment which the county in turn provided to its senior citizen.[6] By the end of 2014, the company reported $14.4 million of revenue. This was an increase from the $10.9 million revenue it reported the previous year.[2] As of 2015, the company does not manufacture its products but rents medical alarm equipment produced by other companies and offers subscriptions to third-party monitoring services. The equipment was produced by three different manufacturers.[2] In January 2015, Florence Henderson became the spokeswoman for the company, appearing in commercials for Medical Guardian.[7][5][8] She would also appear in company videos and its website.[9] According to Gross, Henderson was herself a client living independently at 81-years old.[10] By 2016, the company had also grown to 125 employees. Accordion to Gross, about sixty percent of the company is under the age of thirty-five.[11] It had also appeared in the Inc. Magazine's list of 5000 fastest-growing companies four years in a row,[5] beginning in 2013 when it first appeared, reporting a 415% increase in revenue.[12] The company has received SmartCEO’s Future 50 Awards three years in a row in 2015 to 2017.[13] Near the end of 2016, the company introduced a family-oriented medical alert system. The product was developed in conjunction with Essence Group, an Israeli technology company.[5] The system monitors the client’s activities by use of wireless devices, motion sensors and cell phone service connected devices, sending regular updates to their family members.[5][14] According to Live Science, Medical Guardian’s products are one of the top-three medical monitoring devices in the market.[15] However, it does not offer “smoke or carbon monoxide monitoring” as is available in some of the other medical alert systems.[16] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.inc.com/profile/medical-guardian|title=Medical Guardian: Number 2820 on the 2016 Inc. 5000|last=|first=|date=|website=Inc.com|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-06-27}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite news|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/business/20150816_Millennials_are_successfully_selling_medical-alert_devices_for_seniors.html|title=Millennials successfully selling medical-alert devices for seniors|last=Mastrull|first=Diane|date=2015-08-16|work=The Philadelphia Inquirer|access-date=2017-06-27|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} 3. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/morning_roundup/2016/06/cool-offices-medical-guardian-1818-market-philly.html|title=Cool Offices: Medical Guardian|last=Lefton|first=Clara|date=2016-06-13|website=Philadelphia Business Journal|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-06-27}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/michael_hinkelman/20130508_He_s_bringing_in_alarming_revenues.html|title=He's bringing in alarming revenues|last=Hinkelman|first=Michael|date=2013-05-08|work=The Philadelphia Inquirer|access-date=2017-06-27|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite news|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/business/20161121_A_Philly_firm_s_new_service_tracks_an_elder_s_movements.html|title=A Philly firm's new service tracks an elder's movements|last=Takiff|first=Jonathan|date=2016-11-21|work=The Philadelphia Inquirer|access-date=2017-06-27|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.altoonamirror.com/news/local-news/2014/04/cambria-proud-of-threat-response/|title=Cambria proud of threat response|last=Minemyer|first=Paige|date=2014-04-25|website=Altoona Mirror|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-06-27}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/trending/Carol-Brady.html|title=Carol Brady is new face of Philly-based medical alert company|last=McKeever|first=Mare|date=2015-01-15|work=The Philadelphia Inquirer|access-date=2017-06-27|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.phillymag.com/news/2015/01/15/florence-henderson-medical-guardian-medical-alert-carol-brady/|title=Florence Henderson Has a New Job in Philadelphia|last=Fiorillo|first=Victor|date=2015-01-15|work=Philadelphia Magazine|access-date=2017-06-27|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|language=en-US}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/blog/health-care/2015/01/brady-bunch-mom-is-a-philadelphia-medical-alert.html|title=Brady Bunch' mom is a Philadelphia medical alert device company's new spokeswoman|last=George|first=John|date=2015-01-15|website=Philadelphia Business Journal|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-06-27}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://fortune.com/2015/10/20/startups-senior-market/|title=Startups serving senior market see big opportunities|last=Sherwood|first=Christina Hernandez|date=2015-10-20|website=Fortune|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-06-27}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://phillybiz.net/articles/?articleid=1119|title=Bridging the Generation Gap|last=Stuart|first=Michaelson|date=February 2016|website=Philly Biz|access-date=2017-06-27}} 12. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.inc.com/rebecca-borison/inc5000-philadelphia-2014.html|title=Meet the 10 Companies Proving Why It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia|last=Borison|first=Rebecca|date=2014-12-11|work=Inc.com|access-date=2017-06-16|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} 13. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.smartceo.com/2017-philadelphia-future-50-medical-guardian/|title=2017 Winners -
