Happy 🏠 Meet Ryan!

He is the AVP of Therapy Care and Research at CenterWell Home Health. In his current role He supports and directs therapy practice and specially programming across CenterWell Home Health’s nearly 330 branches and 4500+ therapy clinicians which include PT, OT, and SLP.

If you’re a member of the Home Health Section, Ryan would love to have your vote in November!
After graduating from CSS in 2003, Ryan mostly worked with the geriatric fall risk population. While there is widespread knowledge of the impact of falls in the geriatric population, he believes that the PT profession has the opportunity to improve the efficacy of the treatment approach with these often-vulnerable patients. His favorite type of patients to treat are patients with BPPV due to PT being able to have a “fast win” with some patients with this condition.
His favorite part of PT school was the camaraderie that developed in his class throughout the years they spent in class and studying. He stated that the feeling remained with him after school and helped connect him to the profession as well as to CSS throughout the years. His oldest son currently attends CSS and Ryan is excited for him to have a similar experience!
Ryan described PT as: “We learn more and more every year about how movement and engagement/social connection are some of the best tools to live a more fulfilled life - PTs are experts at driving improved movement and facilitating a more engaged life.”
