TUPELO, MISS. – Relias Healthcare is expanding its partnership with St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson, MS. Building on a partnership that began in October 2021 when Relias began management of the Emergency Department, the provider group will officially lead the Hospital Medicine program beginning August 1, 2024.

“We are thrilled to expand our services with St. Dominic to support both Emergency Medicine and Hospital Medicine. Our goal is to be one team working together to elevate physician services and strengthen St. Dominic’s ministry in Metro Jackson,” says Blake Jeter, President and Chief Operating Officer, Relias Healthcare.

While Relias Healthcare built its reputation in emergency medicine, the organization has extensive experience in hospital medicine as well. St. Dominic’s will be the 11th facility to dually partner with Relias to lead both its emergency and hospital medicine provider teams.

“The last two years with Relias have been a very positive experience for our ministry and our emergency services,” said Teri Dyess, MD, Chief Medical Officer, St. Dominic Hospital. “We are excited about the efficiencies and increased collaboration this will bring for our patients throughout their journey with us from admission through discharge.”

The teams at Relias and St. Dominic’s have worked thoughtfully for the last several months to ensure a smooth transition.

“It is a privilege to partner with St. Dominic’s in our shared goal to provide our patients with exceptional care for all aspects of human existence — body, mind and spirit,” said Relias CMOO and Interim Director of Hospital Medicine, Sumner Abraham, MD. “Relias Healthcare is committed to deploying a robust array of resources to partner with St. Dominic’s in Hospital Medicine to continue building on the great and complex task of caring for patients.”
