Ryan Fischer Appointed to The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital Board of Directors
St. Louis, MO: Fischer Health Care Consulting today announced that Ryan Fischer was named to the Board of Directors for The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital for a term beginning July 1, 2022.
“I have a long-standing passion for community health, whether it's through philanthropy, serving on boards of directors or collaborating with health care think tanks,” Fischer said. “Building a healthy community doesn’t happen overnight. I’m excited to work with the other passionate Board members at The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital.”
Fischer is CEO of Fischer Health Care Consulting and has over 20 years of experience in the health care industry. He has been involved with many boards and organizations that serve uninsured and underinsured clients, children and adults with disabilities, and people experiencing homelessness or substance abuse. He received his education at Washington University School of Medicine and Quincy University.
“We are delighted that Ryan has joined our board,” says Susan Ell, Vice President and Executive Director at The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. “His passion for community health improvement aligns with the goals of the Foundation and BJC HealthCare. We’re pleased to have someone of his caliber representing us.”
Fischer’s ties to Barnes-Jewish Hospital are lifelong; his grandmother and great-grandfather both received treatment through BJC in the 1950s and 60s. Fischer himself received treatment for a shoulder injury at Barnes-Jewish, and they were instrumental in saving his father’s life not once, but three times. Most recently, Fischer worked closely with BJC physicians and patients by way of his position with a skilled nursing facility operator.
