Relentless Health Value (RHV) is the largest weekly healthcare industry podcast reaching senior healthcare decision makers. This includes executives working for payer, provider, pharmacy, pharma, and health tech organizations.

Our listeners—the Relentless Tribe—all have one thing in common: a desire to put patients over profits and do well by doing good. We are a tribe of like-minded individuals on a relentless mission to improve healthcare in this country.

Loved It!

Loved the episode with Preston Alexander. I especially liked it when you guys talked about carriers making serious money just by delaying payments and earning interest on that float. It made me wonder if I should start charging interest on how long people take to pay me back. Thank you so much, Stacey!
