RESTON, Va., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Virginia Business has named ThunderCat Technology as one of the 2025 Best Places to Work in Virginia. The awards are held in partnership with Best Companies Group. ThunderCat is proud to announce it is #1 for midsize businesses in Virginia.

Best Places to Work in Virginia identifies, recognizes and honors the best places of employment in Virginia in three categories: small employer (15-99 employees), medium employer (100-249) and large employer (250 or more). To be considered, companies must be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of Virginia; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Virginia; and be in business for a minimum of one year.

Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

“The 2025 Best Places to Work in Virginia know what it takes to create a workplace that results in teamwork and excellence. They put their employees’ welfare first, creating a positive environment for all,” said Richard Foster, associate publisher of Virginia Business. “We at Virginia Business are pleased to join with Best Companies Group in recognizing these outstanding organizations.”

“A culture isn’t defined by HR, the CEO or even the managers and leaders of the company. They can help set the tone, but to have a truly fun and exciting place to work – it is the combination of everyone, every single person and the little things we do each day to build strong bonds. Leaders can set goals and provide challenges, but the ‘Best Places to Work’ are only best because people trust, respect, and want to work with their teammates. Here at ThunderCat we take pride in hiring incredible people who buy into our desire to be excellent partners, expert advisors to our customers, and genuine friends with one another. We ensure folks feel valued, supported, acknowledged for their efforts, and rewarded for their performance,” said Tom Deierlein, CEO of ThunderCat Technology.

The complete list of winners can be found online. The final rankings were announced at the March 31 awards ceremony.

Fresenius Medical Care introduces TherapyWise™ analytics for kidney replacement therapy

Cloud-based platform provides retrospective, program-level insight into kidney replacement therapy delivered in acute and hospital critical care settingsAvailable within NxStage® System One™ with NxView™ 4.0, Fresenius Medical Care’s FDA 510(k)-cleared software platform for kidney replacement therapy in the United StatesAggregates existing therapy and device data to support identification of trends related to workflow interruptions, alarm burden, and variability

BAD HOMBURG, Germany, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, today announced the introduction of TherapyWise™, a cloud-based analytics capability available within NxView™ 4.0, the Company’s FDA 510(k)-cleared software platform for use with the NxStage® System One™ in the United States. TherapyWise is designed to provide retrospective, program-level insight into kidney replacement therapy (KRT) delivered in acute and hospital critical care settings.

Kidney replacement therapy in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) generates large volumes of clinical and operational data, yet trends related to therapy delivery, workflow interruptions, and alarm frequency can be difficult to assess without standardized metrics and aggregated views. TherapyWise consolidates existing data generated at the point of care and presents longitudinal summaries intended to support oversight of KRT programs across ICU units and time periods.

“Digital solutions play an increasingly important role in how critical care teams understand and manage complex therapies,” said Joe Turk, Chief Executive Officer of Care Enablement at Fresenius Medical Care. “TherapyWise reflects our continued focus on innovation in critical care by applying data analytics. This helps hospital and clinical leaders gain visibility into how kidney replacement therapy is delivered across their organizations, supporting informed discussions around workflow, consistency, and quality improvement.”

TherapyWise works by securely transmitting data from the NxStage System One with NxView to a cloud‑based platform, where information is aggregated and displayed across predefined performance indicators. These include program‑level metrics including average delivered dose compared with set dose, average treatment time per cartridge, and alarm frequency trends. The software is intended to support retrospective review and program oversight and is not designed for real‑time, patient‑specific clinical decision‑making, which remains the responsibility of attending clinicians.

TherapyWise is part of Fresenius Medical Care’s NxView 4.0 software platform and broader critical care portfolio, which combines digital infrastructure, clinical expertise, and secure data management to support hospital teams responsible for kidney replacement therapy programs.
