WellLink and Jorie AI Champion Economic Development Through AI-Driven Healthcare Finance Solutions

Jorie AI Opens Cleveland Location at WellLink's Playhouse Square Offices, Bringing New Employment Opportunities to Northeast Ohio

CLEVELAND, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cleveland is once again at the forefront of healthcare finance. WellLink and Jorie AI today announce a strategic partnership that brings to Northeast Ohio groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) aimed at helping hospitals strengthen revenue, reduce costs, and thrive in today's challenging environment.

As part of the partnership with WellLink, Jorie AI on Sept. 10 opened a new location inside WellLink's Playhouse Square offices, an investment demonstrating the commitment of both companies to advancing healthcare innovation and growing the regional economy.

The move will create new high-skill jobs in the region, particularly in Python programming and revenue cycle management (RCM). Both organizations see this as a significant opportunity to attract talent, foster innovation, and support the local economy while equipping healthcare organizations with the financial tools to sustain and stabilize operations.

Jorie AI selected Cleveland for its newest location because of the city's unique position as a national healthcare epicenter for some of the country's most respected health systems, research institutions, and a thriving network of innovators.

"Cleveland is already a hub for healthcare innovation," said WellLink President & CEO Brian Lane. "By welcoming Jorie AI here, we are adding a powerful new force to the ecosystem that will create jobs, build capabilities, and strengthen our region's position on the national stage."

Jorie AI's proprietary artificial intelligence solutions are transforming RCM, helping healthcare organizations navigate an increasingly volatile landscape marked by rising costs, supply chain tariffs, inflation, and ongoing threats to reimbursement. By automating and optimizing RCM processes, Jorie AI enables hospitals and health systems to save, sustain, and stabilize operations, freeing providers to focus on patient care.

This commitment builds on WellLink's historic role in healthcare finance. In 1927, WellLink, then known as the Cleveland Hospital Council, helped create the national accounting standards that shaped how hospitals measured and report their finances. Today, Jorie AI is carrying that legacy forward by setting a new standard, using Python-based AI revenue cycle management solutions that help healthcare organizations nationwide sustain operations and secure the revenues they are due. WellLink is proud to bring that innovation, and the jobs it creates, to Cleveland.

"We chose Cleveland because it is known globally as a healthcare epicenter," said Jorie AI CEO and Co-Founder Sal Lo. "From globally renowned hospitals to groundbreaking startups, Cleveland lives at the intersection of medical excellence and innovation. Partnering with WellLink allows us to tap into that energy and accelerate the impact our AI can have on healthcare organizations facing unprecedented financial pressures."

Jorie AI's revolutionary RCM platform is recognized for its unique ability to quickly analyze, predict, and achieve financial returns. From accurately coding claims, which drastically reduces claim denials, to accelerating payments, Jorie AI delivers end-to-end solutions that reduce administrative burden and maximize financial performance. Jorie AI sets the standard for how healthcare organizations can approach financial sustainability while experiencing unprecedented financial pressures.

The partnership between WellLink and Jorie AI aligns with WellLink's mission to connect healthcare organizations with innovative solutions that improve outcomes, enhance efficiency, and strengthen the sustainability of care delivery. By bringing Jorie AI to Cleveland, WellLink helps ensure that the region remains a leader in healthcare and technology while sparking regional economic development.
