Ryan Vucina spent more than a decade as Chief Operations Manager with Vucina Construction, Inc., in Pacific Grove, California. Ryan Vucina continues to support the local community by contributing to academic and athletic programs in the Pacific Grove High School District. Students engaged in high school athletics can enjoy a number of benefits, both during their playing days and in the years to follow. One of the best reasons to play for a high school sports team is the opportunity to represent one’s hometown. Unigo, an online resource for prospective college students, has cited participation in high school sports as one of the most direct ways a student can learn the importance of supporting their local community. Of course, partaking in high school athletics provides individuals with a variety of physical benefits. A study conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) found that a female student engaged in athletic activities is more likely to maintain a healthy weight and body mass. Another study found that high school athletes are considerably less likely to take illegal drugs or become teen parents than non-athletes. Finally, high school athletics can help improve a student’s academic standing. Researchers working on behalf of the Minnesota State High School League discovered that student athletes achieved a collective grade point average (GPA) of 2.84, compared to a 2.68 GPA for non-athletes. The study also found that student athletes had attendance records than non-athletes did.

Ryan Vucina is the Chief Operations Manager of Vucina Construction. During Ryan Vucina's term, the company was cited by the Monterey County Herald for its efforts in erecting the first area facility to cater to people with Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a fast-growing illness in the United States. According to 2016 data from the Alzheimer's Association, there are around 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease. Of the 5.4 million, around 200,000 individuals are younger than 65, demonstrating the occurrence of early-onset disease. The disease is a cause for serious concern in America, since it is the 6th-leading cause of death. It has also led to a caregiver problem, as the expenses for caring for a person with Alzheimer's may reach up to $5000 per year. On top of that, there are 15 million caregivers providing over 18.1 billion hours of unpaid care. What's alarming is that the prevalence of Alzheimer’s may increase in the near future. It is estimated that by the middle of the 21st century, someone will develop the disease every 33 seconds, with the population of Alzheimer’s patients ballooning to 13.8 million, almost triple its current number. |
