Relias Healthcare

What Relias Healthcare does

Relias Healthcare is a physician-owned, multi-state emergency and hospital medicine practice management company headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi. Founded in 2014 by emergency physicians, the company contracts directly with hospitals and health systems to staff, manage, and operate Emergency Departments and Hospital Medicine programs across 35+ facilities in five Southeast states (Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, plus the Delta region). Its clinical workforce of 640+ physicians and advanced practice providers supports approximately 585,000 annual patient visits, with an anchor relationship at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo (a Level 2 trauma center and the largest non-metropolitan hospital in the U.S.) and other named partners including St. Dominic Hospital, Forrest General Hospital, Bolivar Medical Center, Neshoba General, OCH Regional Medical Center, and Natchitoches Regional Medical Center.

Relias generates revenue through managed-services contracts for emergency department and hospitalist staffing, operational support, and quality improvement, with contract economics negotiated bespoke per facility and not publicly disclosed. Its product portfolio extends beyond core ED/HM staffing into telehealth (RH Care Anywhere), behavioral health (Arise Psychiatry), clinical training programs, and an American Board of Physician Specialties-accredited Emergency Medicine Fellowship hosted at NMMC-Tupelo. The supporting technology is a data-driven clinical management platform providing live KPI dashboards covering length of stay, readmission rates, patient experience, and provider engagement metrics. The company emphasizes a "founder led, no private equity" ownership model and markets through enterprise field sales, an event-driven relationship motion (e.g., the Jim Spruiell Collaborative), and a multi-channel content strategy anchored by the "Reliably Well" podcast.
