Partnering for Indian Self-Determination

JHMS is a partnership between the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and International Manufacturing Group (IMG), owners of the RelyAid brand. IMG is a privately held company with revenue of $30 million annually that has been loyally serving its customers for nearly 20 years. Through the leadership of Ron Allen, Chairman of the Tribe, and Deepal Wannakuwatte, CEO of IMG, both parties saw the mutual benefit in joining together to serve the Tribal communities throughout North America.

The resulting venture, Jamestown Health and Medical Supply, gained exclusive distribution of IMG’s popular RelyAid brand products. In addition, the company has relationships with other leading manufacturers and wholesalers, including Medline Industries, that enable us to negotiate highly competitive prices.

Our team has hundreds of years of combined experience in tribal healthcare and governance, enabling us to provide customer service that helps Tribes deliver their services more effectively and efficiently. Our guiding philosophy of Tribes Helping Tribes formed this partnership and will continue to direct our efforts to facilitate tribal Tribe fiscal independence and self-determination.
