Custom Care Rehab named 2026 CO—100 Culture Champion by U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Custom Care Rehab Named a 2026 CO—100 Culture Champion by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Custom Care Rehab, LLC, a Northeast Ohio concierge physical therapy practice founded by physical therapist and CEO Amy McMillin, has been named one of the 2026 CO—100: America's Top 100 Small Businesses by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and CO—.

Custom Care Rehab was selected as a 2026 Culture Champion, one of 10 categories recognizing small businesses across the country for their achievements and impact. The 2026 CO—100 honorees were selected from more than 12,000 applicants and represent businesses across 36 states and Washington, D.C.

Founded during the COVID-19 pandemic, Custom Care Rehab began as a one-person mobile physical therapy practice created to bring expert care directly to patients who could not—or did not want to—navigate the traditional clinic model.

What began with Amy McMillin seeing patients on her own has grown into a team of physical therapists and wellness professionals serving clients throughout Cuyahoga, Summit, and Stark counties.

But for McMillin, the company's growth has never been solely about building a larger practice.

It has been about building a different kind of healthcare company.

“I didn't start Custom Care Rehab because I wanted to build a big physical therapy company. I started it because I believed there had to be a better way to deliver care—for patients and for the clinicians providing it.”

“Being recognized as a Culture Champion is especially meaningful because it validates something I've cared about from the beginning: creating an environment where great clinicians can have autonomy, flexibility, and the opportunity to build a career they actually enjoy while providing exceptional care to their patients.”

McMillin's original vision was rooted in a simple idea: healthcare should work around people—not force people to work around the healthcare system.

That philosophy shaped Custom Care Rehab's mobile model, in which therapists provide individualized, one-on-one physical therapy in clients' homes, workplaces, and other private settings.

It also shaped the company's approach to its employees.

Rather than recreating the volume-driven model McMillin had experienced in traditional healthcare settings, Custom Care Rehab was intentionally designed around clinician autonomy, flexible scheduling, professional growth, and a shared commitment to treating patients with dignity.

Today, the Custom Care Rehab team includes physical therapists with expertise spanning orthopedic rehabilitation, vestibular therapy, concussion care, women's health, neurological rehabilitation, and other specialized areas of care.

The company's team-centered approach was a central part of McMillin's CO—100 application, which described the goal of creating an ecosystem where physical therapists have greater autonomy, flexibility, and opportunities for financial growth.

The CO—100 recognition comes as Custom Care Rehab continues to expand its concierge healthcare model throughout Northeast Ohio.

For McMillin, however, the recognition represents something larger than business growth.

It represents proof that healthcare can be built differently.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce will bring the 2026 CO—100 honorees together in Washington, D.C., October 19–21 for the CO—100 VIP Experience and related events, including the CO—100 Small Business Forum.

Passion but Make it Profit

Passion, But Make It Profit Podcast

Amy McMillin, founder and CEO of Custom Care Rehab, was featured on the Passion, But Make It Profit podcast, where she shared her journey from hospital-based physical therapist to healthcare entrepreneur and innovator in concierge physical therapy.

After 15 years in traditional healthcare, Amy recognized an opportunity to create a more personalized model of care—one that prioritizes convenience, relationships, flexibility, and proactive health. During the pandemic, that vision became reality when she launched an in-home physical therapy practice to meet patients where they were, initially serving individuals with complex vestibular needs.

Since its founding in 2020, Custom Care Rehab has grown organically through referrals, strategic partnerships, and community relationships rather than relying on traditional paid advertising. What began as a specialized mobile practice has evolved into a concierge physical therapy company serving Northeast Ohio, with a team of therapists providing expertise across orthopedic rehabilitation, neurological care, women's health, longevity, and other specialized areas of physical therapy.

Throughout the conversation, Amy discusses her approach to building a healthcare company around personalized, high-touch care rather than a volume-driven model. She also shares lessons from scaling a clinical practice, developing new service offerings, and creating a business model that gives both patients and clinicians a better healthcare experience.

In addition to leading Custom Care Rehab, Amy teaches entrepreneurship and innovative healthcare models to the next generation of physical therapists and speaks about the future of physical therapy and personalized care.

SHEnanigans: Amy It All Comes Out On The Table

In this episode of the Shenanigans Podcast, host Jenny Young welcomes her "brainstorm buddy" and close friend Amy McMillin, owner of Custom Care Rehab. The episode begins with a lighthearted "candy review" icebreaker featuring old-school Razzles, which quickly transitions into a deep dive into their unique professional relationship. The two entrepreneurs share how they met through a "cold call" that turned into a collaborative partnership, blending Amy’s expertise in physical therapy and business execution with Jenny’s visionary branding and videography skills.

The conversation shifts toward the realities of balancing ambitious business goals—like writing books, launching podcasts, and managing employees—with the demands of motherhood and household management. They discuss the importance of "blocking" time, asking for help from their community, and setting boundaries to prevent burnout. Both women reflect on how they are redefining "mom life" for their children by modeling a strong work ethic while also prioritizing intentional "micro-moments" and extended time off to recharge.
