Bryan Bostic

 DERBY - Griffin Health caregiver Bryan Bostic of Ansonia was recently named to the 2024 Westfair Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 list for his compassion and devotion as a health care professional and for commitment to his community.

The 40 under 40 recognition is given to individuals between the ages of 25 and 40 years old who are leaders in Fairfield County’s business growth.

Bostic has been a caregiver at Griffin Health for 16 years, starting as a patient transport dispatcher. 

While working at Griffin, Bryan enrolled at Southern Connecticut State University and proudly earned a BA in Business Administration in May 2016.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Bostic was called to serve as Griffin’s Laboratory Call Center Lead, where he helped maintain 126 skilled nursing facility accounts during Connecticut Department of Public Health COVID-19 Testing Program. 

This career move led to Bostic becoming a laboratory account representative, managing 50 accounts for skilled nursing facilities. In January of 2024, he was elevated to employee wellness navigator, providing fellow Griffin caregivers with guidance on high-quality health care options to maximize their savings.

For his exemplary patient-centered work during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bostic was named Griffin’s 2020 Employee of the Year. The award was the culmination of several Employee of the Month awards and a Planetree Spirit of Caring Award in 2018 that reflect Bostic’s leadership at Griffin, including serving on Griffin’s Planetree Steering and Thankful Thursdays committee.

Bostic is also a distinguished 2022 Graduate of the Leadership Greater Valley Program, an 8-week intensive community leadership program sponsored by the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce, where he was a great contributor. He currently serves on FUEL, the Advisory Board of the Chamber's Young Professionals Group.

“Bryan is truly a devoted, compassionate and award-winning health care professional who has made an indelible mark on all those that he comes in contact with,” the nomination for Bryan stated. “Bryan is deeply admired and respected by his colleagues at Griffin Health and serves as a model for others to emulate. His warm smile and engaging personality sets Bryan apart and has endeared him to others.”
