Sponsorship

Relentless Health Value is (although not officially) a non-profit endeavor. We get a lot of satisfaction from helping those in the healthcare industry help Americans get better healthcare. But putting out a podcast like Relentless Health Value is expensive, and we are bearing this financial cost ourselves.

Our audience is full of movers and shakers, so if you would love to reach our Relentless Health Value tribe please see our sponsorship opportunities page.
