“Primary care is a critical and undervalued service in our healthcare system. We are excited to further our partnership with Fast Pace and welcome RHA to the Revelstoke family,” said Simon Bachleda, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Revelstoke. “Together, Fast Pace and RHA are building an innovative solution that addresses the complex and widespread challenges to the rural healthcare system at a lower cost of care to patients and payors.”
The combined company plans to offer robust care coordination and value-based healthcare to its rural patient population utilizing its payor partnerships through the delivery of primary care, orthopedic, mental health, dermatology, urgent care, and other ancillary services. RHA’s 15 primary care focused walk-in clinics in rural western Tennessee are all certified Rural Healthcare Clinics.
“Our rural communities skew older, sicker and poorer than the national average, resulting in higher-cost patients to the healthcare system,” said Rob Benson, President of Population Health at Fast Pace. “Our high-touch, proven clinical model results in long-lasting patient relationships and the ability to drive positive changes in patients’ recurring healthcare behaviors.”
