Overview

Sun River Health faced fragmented communications following a major merger, struggling with limited reporting and unscalable legacy hardware. By transitioning to a unified cloud environment powered by RingEX, RingCX, AI QM, and AVA, the organization achieved a 95% first-call resolution rate—a 25% increase over industry standards. This transformation resulted in significant overhead reduction and higher patient satisfaction scores, providing a scalable foundation for their mission-driven healthcare delivery.

We’ve had a tremendous partnership with RingCentral. We wouldn’t have been able to get to where we are now, where we have a 95% first-call resolution rate—25% over the industry standard.

About our customer

Sun River Health, based in New York City, the Hudson Valley, and Long Island, has provided high-quality, affordable medical care to underprivileged communities for nearly half a century. As the largest federally qualified health center in the state, they serve more than 245,000 patients annually regardless of their ability to pay.

The challenge: Disconnected systems across dozens of locations

Following a 2018 merger, the organization found itself hamstrung by three disparate phone systems that could not communicate with one another. One legacy platform relied on a convoluted on-premises setup that required expensive third-party assistance for simple updates, while the others utilized a local cloud vendor that lacked the capacity to grow with the expanding enterprise. This fragmentation created significant friction for 2,000 employees distributed across dozens of clinical sites and administrative offices.
