Cumberland Consulting Group, a Franklin-based firm focused on health technology implementation and project management, has had its share of recognition for rapid growth, twice landing on Modern Healthcare’s list of the “40 Hottest” health care companies and coming in first in the Nashville Business Journal’s most recent list of the area’s fastest-growing companies.
