About Ryan Dirks
Ryan became interested in caring for patients as a Physician Assistant, with the goal of extending the hands of physicians and providing care in underserved areas. He earned his Master's in Physician Assistant Studies from A.T. Still University and completed his Bachelor's degree at Pacific Lutheran University. His passion for sports as an NCAA athlete and Olympic hopeful made sports medicine a natural fit. In 2011, he was introduced to skilled nursing wound care and felt a unique calling to provide specialty care in an often underserved area.
His love for this work and the increasing demand sparked the idea of starting United Wound Healing. Eventually, his role as CEO led him to full-time leadership and administration. Despite his executive responsibilities, he still volunteers at several local high schools, providing sports medicine coverage.
Ryan's interests include spending time with his wife and their twin sons, physical fitness and exercise. He also enjoys spending time outdoors, hiking, and fly fishing.
