News Release

WARSAW – Bowen Center’s new president and chief executive officer, Rob Ryan has announced a realignment of top executives.

Dr. Ryan stepped into the role as Bowen Center’s President/Chief Executive Officer on July 1.

The change involves two executive team members: Jay Baumgartner, who moves from Senior Vice President of Finance to Chief Financial Officer, and Shannon Hannon, formerly Vice President of Healthcare Integration moves to Chief Operations Officer.    

Baumgartner is a Milford native.

Dr. Ryan, who served as Bowen Center’s Senior Vice President of Operations, was named President/CEO by its board of directors with the retirement of Bowen Center’s long-time leader, Kurt Carlson, on June 30. 

“This realignment at the top level will allow us to provide improved internal structure for staff development and match reporting structures typically seen in an integrative care setting,” said Dr. Ryan. “The benefits will include our ability to see more patients and have our clinical leadership at the table as we transform from a top-tier mental health center to a top-tier integrative care system. Many of the communities we serve will soon have improved access to dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, and of course mental health.”    

Bowen Center serves the northern and central regions of Indiana treating patients with emotional and behavioral health care, and addiction recovery services, and offers primary health care clinics in Fort Wayne, Huntington and Warsaw. For more information visit BowenCenter.org.
