Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Primary Care
Our health centers' services include: adult medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, adolescent health, HIV services, dental, mental health, nutrition, a wide array of specialty services, health education, home visits when necessary, and transportation when medically indicated. We offer a sliding fee scale, which is unique in that it encompasses an array of frequently used services such as laboratory and radiology. In addition, the health centers maintain a generous pharmaceutical plan with a minimal co-payment for each prescription on the Ryan formulary for under-/uninsured patients while our homeless patients receive medications at no charge. Ryan absorbs the prescription drug costs for these patients.
Women & Children's
Women and children are served at each of our health centers; however, our premier Women and Children’s center served over 10,000 children and adolescents in 2020. Additional services offered to support healthy early childhood development and wellness include HealthySteps, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program, Reach Out and Read, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program, and parenting and breastfeeding programs. The site is also fully staffed to provide comprehensive, culturally competent Women’s Health services.
Mental Health Care
The Ryan Health | Emotional Wellness Center offers confidential, comprehensive behavioral health services for children, adolescents, adults, and families.
Dental and Vision
Ryan Health offers dental care to pediatric, adult and geriatric patients. We emphasize preventive dental care, with the goal of helping patients establish good dental habits to stop dental disease before it starts.
Ryan Health's Eye Clinic provides primary eye care. Using state of the art technology, eye care professionals give comprehensive eye exams to diagnose and treat common vision problems and eye diseases, such as glaucoma.
