FRANK&LLENCARE After nearly 55 years of marriage, Frank and Llen Ryan are committed partners on life’s journey. But they’re not in it alone. Their pursuit of health is a long and successful partnership with their Wellstar physicians. Fromprimary care to complicateddiagnoses, treatment, surgery and therapy, Wellstar has provided the Ryans the best in PeopleCare for more than 20 years. The couple has had their share of challenges, like Llen’s Type 2 diabetes and debilitating back pain and Frank’s cancer, heart disease and Parkinson’s. Through it all, their Wellstar care team has held up the medical side of the partnership, while the Ryans do their part by choosing healthy habits. Today the couple is living their best, healthiest life. Frank plays tuba in a band, while Llen creates art and pays it back as a dedicated Wellstar volunteer. Eating well and walking at Kennesaw Mountain are part of their daily routine.
“Staying well is a decision we make every day. We can never appreciate our Wellstar doctors enough for all that they do.” – Frank and Llen Ryan
