Early healthcare business development
Ridgeway’s healthcare career includes the development of Stone Surgical in 2008. The business connected him to the commercial and operational side of medical care, including products and services used in neuro, spine, and orthopedic settings.
This phase of his career required building relationships across providers, manufacturers, clinical teams, and healthcare organizations while managing the practical demands of distribution and service.
Expansion into diagnostic services
His professional work later expanded into clinical laboratory operations through Stone Clinical Laboratories. That move brought together business development, laboratory infrastructure, staffing, logistics, client service, and the systems needed to support diagnostic testing.
The laboratory services connected to his background have included toxicology, pharmacogenetics, pathology, wellness-related testing, and early-detection capabilities.
Operating across complex organizations
Healthcare organizations operate within demanding clinical, regulatory, technical, and financial environments. Ridgeway’s career reflects experience working through those overlapping pressures while pursuing organizational growth.
His professional profile is therefore best understood not as a single-company story, but as a broader record of healthcare entrepreneurship, operational leadership, and business execution.
