What does it take to close care gaps for patients, especially those with limited resources? Our VP of Operations, Ryan Kruger, sat down with the team at Haven Home Health & Hospice to talk about exactly that.

Click to listen to Ryan's episode of the In Good Company podcast to learn about the work Jordan Valley Health is doing to improve the health of the communities we serve.

What would it actually take to fix healthcare in this country?
In our latest episode of In Good Company, we sit down with Ryan Kruger, Vice President of Operations at Jordan Valley Health, for a real, behind-the-scenes look at how change is actually happening from the ground up.

With nearly 30 years of experience, Ryan shares how his team is rethinking healthcare by focusing on what truly matters: access, affordability, and patient-centered care. From innovative pharmacy programs that eliminate medication costs to wraparound services that meet patients where they are, this conversation is full of practical, real-world solutions.

We also dive into:
• The biggest gaps in today’s healthcare system
• How community-based care is filling those gaps
• The impact of programs like PACE helping seniors stay in their homes
• Balancing mission and financial sustainability in nonprofit healthcare
• Addressing challenges like homelessness, substance use, and access to care
If you care about the future of healthcare, or want to understand how real change actually happens, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

If you've ever been to the Jordan Valley Health Tampa Vision Clinic, you've probably run into Amy and Bryan. This dynamic duo works together daily to make sure our patients have the care they need. 💚

But...

Amy and Bryan have been a dynamic duo long before they worked at Jordan Valley Health. They first met in high school in 1988 and have been best friends ever since.

From school dances and first jobs to weddings and raising kids, they’ve supported each other through every stage of life. So when the chance came up to work together again at Jordan Valley Health, they were excited to say yes.

When we asked what each of them brings to the team, Bryan shared that Amy works hard to make sure every patient gets the care they need. She makes people feel comfortable, cared for, and truly seen. Amy said Bryan brings flexibility that ensures every patient gets an adaptable and responsive visit.

Together, their friendship makes our team stronger — and helps make Jordan Valley Health a welcoming place for patients every day. 💚
