St. Louis – September 22, 2026 -- The Gateway Business Health Coalition (Gateway BHC), which represents roughly 70 employers nationwide including Fortune 500 companies and public sector organizations, has partnered with Rezilient Health to expand employer access to a hybrid primary care model.
Gateway BHC members gain same-day access to Rezilient's hybrid CloudClinic model
The partnership pairs Rezilient's same-day primary and urgent care with specialty consults and care navigation, aiming to reduce total healthcare spending for self-funded employers. Rezilient's CloudClinic format combines an in-person clinical medic with a provider joining remotely via secure video, supported by connected diagnostic devices for physical exams, labs and basic imaging during the same visit.
Coalition leadership frames primary care access as a lever against rising employer costs
Laurel Pickering, President and CEO of Gateway BHC, said real access to primary care changes utilization patterns that drive higher costs and poorer outcomes, and that the coalition sought a model offering same-day access and a better care experience. Gateway BHC has operated since 1982 and is based in St. Louis, Missouri.
Rezilient targets earlier intervention to change the economics of employer-sponsored care
Danish Nagda, MD, CEO and founder of Rezilient Health, said the goal is to resolve more issues at the point of first contact and route patients to the right care rather than simply adding another primary care option. Rezilient, also headquartered in St. Louis, serves self-funded employers, health system partners and coalitions across the United States.
Model consolidates primary care, urgent care, specialty consults and navigation into one visit
The companies said the arrangement replaces the fragmented mix of point solutions many employers currently stitch together, integrating primary care with specialty consults and navigation under a single connected care structure for Gateway BHC's employer members.
