Healthcare veteran to lead JQ Medical through next phase of strategic expansion and patient-focused innovation

SALT LAKE CITY, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- JQ Medical, a leading provider of diabetes supplies and patient support services, announced the appointment of Ryan Schorr as Chief Executive Officer and to its Board of Directors, which he assumed on June 16^th, 2025. Schorr succeeds Matt Gallagher and will lead the company through its next phase of growth, focused on the patient experience, operational excellence and expansion into new markets.

Schorr brings more than two decades of healthcare experience to JQ Medical, holding senior leadership roles across direct-to-patient, medical distribution, and post-acute care companies including Edgepark Medical Supplies and Cardinal Health. His background spans both public and private companies and includes a focus on scaling operations while maintaining patient-first cultures.

"Ryan's leadership style and focus on operational rigor align perfectly with what makes JQ successful – responsiveness and personalized support," said Matt Komenda, Founder and Managing Partner of JQ Medical's private equity sponsor, Tacoma Holdings. "He understands what it takes to scale without sacrificing what matters most to patients and providers."

JQ Medical has earned high marks from patients, healthcare professionals, and manufacturing partners for its knowledgeable staff, fast delivery, and dedication to navigating the complexities of diabetes care. The company's culture and ability to bridge the gap between doctors, patients, insurance, and medical device manufacturers have made it a trusted partner across the continuum of care.

"I'm honored to join a company that delivers on its promise to make diabetes care easier for patients and their providers," said Ryan Schorr. "Having spent twenty years in direct-to-patient businesses, I understand that the environment is complex, but the solutions are simple; answering the phone, getting patients their products quickly and helping them navigate their benefit questions.  I have known JQ Medical since early in my career and the business has always had a great reputation in the market for its responsiveness and commitment to all stakeholders in the process. I'm excited to build on that foundation and help more patients get the support they need to live healthier lives."

As JQ Medical continues to expand its national footprint, Schorr will focus on continuing to scale its best-in-class customer service operating model, increasing access for patients with diabetes, and developing strategic partnerships with payors, employer groups, and providers to ensure as many individuals as possible can receive their diabetes supplies with timely, reliable, and compassionate service.
