Why Ryan Health?
Ryan Health delivers exceptional primary care to our patients, as well as a range of services from women's health and pediatrics, to behavioral health, HIV care, and chronic disease management. Our Care Teams include doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, nurses, health educators, and patient services representatives.
Ryan Health is committed to reducing or eliminating financial barriers to care. Patients are welcome regardless of ability to pay. We offer a sliding fee-discount program based on family size and income. You must apply with a Ryan Health staff member to see if you qualify. In addition, we offer discounts on health insurance deductibles, co-payments, and co-insurance, when possible. Our staff will work with you to make sure that cost does not prevent you from receiving needed healthcare services.
