DIGroup Architecture’s Bob Ryan, principal in charge of the firm’s Healthcare Studio, has been named among the 2025 People to Watch in Health Care by NJBIZ. This prestigious annual list spotlights individuals who have made and are poised to continue making a significant impact on the dynamic healthcare landscape in New Jersey as well as the region. 

Ryan’s inclusion underscores his profound influence and critical contributions to the healthcare sector, particularly through his innovative work in architectural design and strategic planning. His leadership at DIG has consistently driven forward-thinking solutions that adeptly address the evolving needs of healthcare providers and patients. 

“We are incredibly proud to see Bob recognized as a key influencer in the healthcare sector, which has been the focus of his professional career spanning 35 years,” said DIG’s President Vincent Myers. “This honor is a testament to his dedication, expertise and the transformative impact of his work, from New Jersey hospitals and New York medical colleges to federally qualified health centers throughout the tri-state area. Bob consistently champions designs that not only meet the functional demands of modern healthcare but also enhances patient experience and operational efficiency. He is truly helping to shape the future of healthcare environments to better serve the needs of people of all ages.” 

A passionate proponent of high-performance design, Ryan has a deep understanding of the complex challenges facing today’s healthcare leaders and workers. “We recognize that healthcare leaders are continually tasked with the evolving need to address changing norms, new technology and the demand to provide quality care using fewer resources,” said Ryan. “Our goal is to help our clients make astute and strategic decisions about their facilities, considering not only today’s investment but also the future life of the facility and its shifting needs.” 

This forward-thinking perspective spans planning for new construction and the reinvestment process within existing facilities. Ryan’s ability to seamlessly cross both public and private sectors of the industry further solidify his visionary expertise. Skilled in all aspects of healthcare design, he constructively manages and leads the DIG team through every phase of a project, ensuring an inspiring achievement of established design objectives. 

“This approach is the very foundation of our business and our passion at DIG,” Ryan explained. “We approach every project, large or small, with the same commitment to help our clients assure the success of their projects. It is about building not just structures, but a more resilient and effective healthcare future.” 

The NJBIZ “People to Watch in Health Care” list acknowledges professionals whose vision, leadership and achievements are setting new benchmarks and driving progress within the healthcare field. Ryan’s recognition highlights DIG’s steadfast commitment to advancing healthcare infrastructure through thoughtful, impactful and future-ready design.
