John Relic

Chief Executive Officer

ClarityMD

A master fixer, he tackles problems head-on, works smart and hard to develop innovative and winning solutions, and maximizes economic performance.

“As a project management leader, I always try to understand what someone else’s world looks like, why they are the way they are, and what drives their concerns and decisions.”

John tells it straight. He is driven by a fundamental belief in honesty – offering his employers, partners, and associates realistic viewpoints on where the business stands; providing accurate feedback and evaluation to his teams and safeguarding the best interests of leadership, staff and other institutional stakeholders.

Driven by a strong sense of urgency and incredible stamina, he enjoys and thrives on tackling complicated projects and excels under fire in crisis situations. He is at his best when turning uncertainty and chaos into order and harmony. Resourceful and innovative, he always searches out new ways to improve operations and elevate best-practices.

Along with revitalizing ailing organizations through game-changing turnarounds, John dramatically improves the health of the corporate culture and workplace environment. His mission with transformation is also to bring dignity and strength to each individual worker. He feels responsible for the long-term security of the people, and is proud to have mentored and guided many to progress in their careers to senior leadership roles.

Over his 34 years in healthcare leadership positions, John helped lead multiple key projects as large as $100 million. As a project manager, his mission, as always, is grounded in building goodwill with all stakeholders, moving steadily forward, and creating a smooth harmonious experience for all, despite unforeseen setbacks and behind the scenes chaos.

As a hospital executive, he made his mark in tackling difficult projects of numerous types and sizes. John was heavily involved in the development of new programs and services, numerous construction and capital related projects, and reorganization leading to improved performance at reduced costs.

His passions away from work are the study of history, traveling with family and playing golf when time permits.
