Leadership

Committed to making healthcare more human and efficient.

A Message from Our Founders

When we started Rivia Health, we saw a disconnect between how patients wanted to engage with their care and how providers were able to connect with them. Healthcare is deeply personal, yet too often the systems that support it feel impersonal, outdated, and difficult to navigate—for patients and staff alike.

Our mission is to simplify and humanize the way healthcare organizations engage with their patients, starting with everyday interactions like scheduling, reminders, and payments. We believe that when communication is clear, convenient, and compassionate, everyone benefits—patients feel empowered, staff feel supported, and practices run more smoothly.

We’re proud of the impact our platform is making, but we know the real progress comes from the partnerships we’ve built with our customers. Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your care journey. We’re just getting started.
