ENSG

Ensign Group, Inc

A provider of skilled nursing and senior living care across more than a dozen states, Ensign runs post-acute facilities for people recovering from surgery or illness, along with memory care and rehabilitative services. Founded in 1999 by a healthcare veteran who had earlier built a major nursing home chain, its name comes from "ensign," meaning a flag — fitting, since the company awards an internal Ensign Flag to its best-performing facilities.
