NASHVILLE, Tenn. – September 21, 2021 – Today, Relatient, Inc., the leading SaaS-based patient engagement platform, announces its board of directors has appointed Jeff Gartland as chief executive officer (CEO) effective immediately. Michele Perry, who served in the role since 2017, will step into the role of Vice-Chairman. Gartland brings more than 20 years of leadership experience in healthcare and technology to Relatient, which recently announced a $100M growth equity capital investment from Brighton Park Capital and its merger with Radix Health.
