People’s lives improve when they join a community of people who love and support them.  In today’s world, it often takes a team to care for people’s complex care and needs.  People benefit greatly from the wisdom, advice, and care from those who partner with them.  Research shows that social connections are important for our well-being.  Having support from family and friends is important for our happiness and health and is also instrumental to our ability to share information, learn from others, and seize economic opportunities.

Our speaker, Ryan Ventura  joined RVNAhealth in September of 2021 as a Business Development Care Manager.  RVNAhealth is one of the area’s most successful home health care companies with more than 500 staff serving our greater community.  Ryan’s role allows him to serve those who need care, as well as those who provide care for others.  He has a passion for service, for developing community relationships, and for building robust caregiving networks.  Prior to healthcare service, Ryan served 13 years as a Pastor, listening and helping people through all of life’s seasons.  Ryan, a native to New England, has lived in Fairfield County for the past 15 years. With three children of their own, Ryan and his wife are invested in their local community.  Currently, Ryan serves as a teaching mentor to young people with special needs.  He has also served in local theater arts productions.

“Why health care?” is a question Ryan is frequently asked.  His response is simple:  “I care about people, it’s a big part of who I am. When serving as a Pastor, I saw how people’s lives improved when they joined a community of people who loved and supported them.  I learned that in today’s world, it often takes a team to care for people’s complex care-needs.  Personally, I have benefited greatly from the wisdom, advice, and care from those who have partnered with me.  Now, at RVNAhealth, I can stand with others to provide this kind of support both to those in need and their families.”  Ryan holds a Masters degree in Leadership and Ministry from Liberty University.
