AI-powered healthcare technology company Valerie Health plans to establish regional operations in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The project is expected to create more than 200 jobs over the next three years.

“We’re thrilled to invest in Chattanooga’s vibrant talent pool and contribute to the city’s growing healthcare technology ecosystem,” said Pete Shalek, CEO of Valerie Health. “This expansion reflects our commitment to long-term growth and our mission to empower independent provider groups with cutting-edge technology.”

Valerie Health serves independent provider groups by embedding AI agents with human-in-the-loop operations directly into existing clinic workflows and systems. This company’s technology automates administrative tasks such as referrals, faxes and scheduling.

“We’re excited to partner with Valerie Health in bringing more healthcare technology jobs to the region,”noted Adam Myers, vice president of Economic and Talent Development for the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce. “This announcement represents an opportunity for accelerated career growth for local residents within this fast-growing, emerging sector.”
