About Ryan Jankord

Helping patients access better care today, building care pathways for tomorrow, and enabling employer-sponsored care.I didn\'t set out to redesign healthcare, I just wanted to help patients with autoimmune conditions get the care they needed. What I found along the way was a system built around the wrong incentives where doctors are getting burned out, patients are under supported, and employers are over charged.Direct care addresses many of these issues. Doctors and patients work directly together for quality care at a reasonable price. For employers, that means a straightforward way to offer your people better healthcare that they\'re actually excited to use.Healthcare is local. As a community advocate, President of TriDPC, and co-Chapter Leader for Ohio FMMA, I get to play my part in building local solutions for our region. My work at Adyptation and with national partners allows me to stay connected to the broader movement and deploy the best direct care and Rx solutions here.My background is unusual for this work (academic neuroscience, DoD technology, data and software products) but it taught me how broken systems actually work and how to build better ones.If you\'re a Greater Cincinnati business owner curious about direct care options for your team, let\'s connect.If you\'re a physician, advocate, or organization working in direct care, let\'s connect.

Experience

1. President

   Tri-Dpc

   Mar 2026 — Present · Cincinnati, OH, US

   TriDPC connects patients with independent direct primary care physicians across the tri-state region. Care built on relationships, time, and genuine responsiveness. For employers, sponsoring DPC access for their team is one of the most straightforward ways to offer better care at a lower cost. I support our affiliate clinicians, and work with employers, community advocates, brokers, TPAs and others to build our regional direct care ecosystem.
