The quote in the second graph, second sentence of release should read: We are very excited about our prospects as we work to expand our service network and continue to produce sound financial results. (sted We are very excited about our prospects as we).
LHC Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LHCG - News), one of the largest providers of home nursing services in the United States, announced today that it has been ranked #8 on the Forbes 2008 list of “America’s 200 Best Small Companies.” This is the second year in a row that LHC Group has made the top 10, ranking #7 in 2007.

Keith Myers, chief executive officer of LHC Group, said, “It is a great privilege for our company to be included by Forbes in their ranking that recognizes excellence in both short- and long-term performance, and we are especially honored to be ranked in the top 10 for the second straight year. We are very excited about our prospects as we work to expand our service network and continue to produce sound financial results.”

The companies designated as the “200 Best Small Companies in America” must pass through a gauntlet to qualify for the list. Forbes judged candidates – all with revenue of $5 million to $750 million and share prices above $5 as of September 29 – according to return on equity, as well as sustained sales and net profit growth over 12-month and five-year periods. The companies on the list are small but growing businesses designed to survive the ups and downs of market volatility.
