At Rely Health, we're on a mission to transform the way patients navigate care after leaving the hospital. Too often, patients and families are left overwhelmed—unsure of which doctors to see, what order to schedule appointments, or how to manage the costs. This leads to gaps in care, missed follow-ups, and unnecessary ER visits.

With our AI-powered patient navigation platform and compassionate team of navigators, we simplify the care journey. We help patients book follow-up appointments, overcome barriers like insurance challenges or transportation, and connect with the right providers at the right time. Together, we're creating a more connected, supportive, and healthier future for communities across the country.

We're a fast-growing healthcare startup backed by mission-driven investors and led by entrepreneurs and healthcare leaders who have built and scaled successful organizations. If you're energized by messy problems, scaling solutions, and leading with impact, we'd love to meet you.
