With a passion for advancing patient-centered care across the healthcare ecosystem, Ryan has dedicated his career to supporting provider organizations to improve the quality and safety of care while lowering costs. As Chairman and CEO of Press Ganey since 2012, Ryan has led a dramatic transformation of the organization into an innovator and industry leader in patient, member, employee, and consumer experience across the continuum of care.
“Advancing and transforming safety, quality, and patient experience are essential aims for our industry, and require deep and meaningful engagement with clinical teams,” said Ryan. “It is an honor to join Hallmark supporting their mission to address the challenges and opportunities in healthcare workforce management through innovative, technology-driven solutions.”
