Aspirus Health has appointed Ryan Lown as the Chief Administrative Officer for Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital. Lown assumed his new position on June 23, where he will manage hospital operations and collaborate with executive leadership to enhance operational efficiency in line with Aspirus Health's mission of delivering high-quality, patient-centered care.
With over two decades of experience in healthcare management, Lown has a solid background in physician collaboration and outpatient services. Prior to this role, he served as the Administrative Director of Physician and Outpatient Services at Adventist Health Castle in Hawaii, focusing on operational optimization and systemwide collaboration. He holds a Master of Health Administration from Saint Louis University and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Colorado State University.
“I am looking forward to serving in the wonderful community of Wisconsin Rapids for an organization who prioritizes quality care, patient relationships and long-term community wellness,” said Lown. “The mission as well as the kind team drew me to Aspirus Health, and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the important work ahead.”
Lown is expected to play a crucial role in ensuring effective care delivery throughout the hospital while fostering strong partnerships with providers, staff, and community members.
“Ryan has extensive and diverse experience in the healthcare management field,” stated Chris Squire, President of Aspirus Southwest Division. “What I’m truly excited about is his thoughtful approach to engagement with providers, staff, patients and the community at large. He will be a great fit not only by virtue of his work ethic but also by his ability to connect with others.”
Relocating from Hawaii to Wisconsin brings Lown and his family closer to relatives and offers them an opportunity to establish lasting roots in the area. His leadership is anticipated to improve service delivery and support Aspirus's long-term goals for community wellness.
