The William Ryan Honorary Award for Excellence
William “Bill” Ryan was a career first responder from New York. He was one of the original responders on 9/11. After 9/11, he would go on to start a company dedicated to making EMS care more efficient. He would later bring that business into the Juvare family.
Bill passed away five years ago due to complications from exposure at ground zero. Many at Juvare worked closely with Bill over the years and specifically recall his commitment and dedication to the causes he cared deeply about. This award is meant to remember William Ryan as well as recognize someone who currently exhibits the same sort of commitment and dedication.
- Greg Santa Maria – South Dakota Health Care Coalition
