Columbus, Ohio – Reliable Healthcare Solutions (RHS) is relocating its center of operations and distribution operations from Jacksonville, Florida, to Groveport, creating 106 new jobs to the Columbus Region. The move positions RHS—a leading distributor of medical supplies that serves pharmacies, durable medical equipment (DME) providers, and healthcare facilities nationwide—to better serve key customers while expanding its workforce and operational capabilities. The company’s new location will house both its corporate functions and a learning and development center, ensuring long-term workforce training and innovation.
“Our relocation to the Columbus Region represents a pivotal step in Reliable Healthcare Solutions’ continued growth,” said Joseph Papworth, President at RHS. “With a strong workforce, an ideal central location, and the ability to quickly scale our operations, Groveport provides the perfect environment to better serve our customers while enhancing our learning and development capabilities. We look forward to embedding ourselves in the community and building a long-term future here.”
The company’s decision to relocate was driven by the Columbus Region’s affordability, access to skilled talent, and Groveport’s ability to quickly meet RHS’ expansion needs. The region’s strong logistics infrastructure and business-friendly environment were also key factors in RHS’ selection process.
“Reliable Healthcare Solutions’ investment in Groveport is more than just an economic win—it’s a commitment to the people who live and work here,” said Lance Westcamp, Mayor of Groveport. “These new jobs will provide opportunities for our residents, strengthen our local economy, and contribute to the vitality of our city. We are proud to welcome RHS to Groveport, and we look forward to the lasting impact they will have on our community.”
“Reliable Healthcare Solutions’ decision to choose Groveport as its new center of operations reflects Ohio’s ability to provide businesses with the right mix of talent, infrastructure and support to succeed,” said JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “Along with our partners at One Columbus, we look forward to supporting RHS’s growth as it further strengthens the U.S. healthcare supply chain.”
The Columbus Region presents a compelling case for RHS to relocate its operations, boasting a thriving healthcare industry supported by a strong logistics and distribution network. Key private partners, such as Derek Lichtfuss from Newmark, played a pivotal role in guiding RHS to Ohio. This move further solidifies the region’s position as a major hub in the national healthcare supply chain.
