Landry received a Crystal Heart Award from the American Heart Association in 2022 for his leadership in improving access to quality health care in Maine as well as his involvement in the organization as a corporate partner, volunteer and supporter.

Landry was born in Norway on Nov. 28, 1972, and graduated from Winslow High School in 1991, according to his obituary. 

He graduated summa cum laude from Bates College in Lewiston with degrees in economics and political science. His senior-year thesis explored the relationship between economics and politics in presidential campaigns, elections and administrations, his LinkedIn profile shows.

He also earned an MBA from Thomas College in Waterville as well as advanced training certificates from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Chicago and Harvard Business School.

Landry began his career in medical billing before joining Spectrum Healthcare Partners and Spectrum Medical Management Co. in 1998 as chief operating officer. He became CEO of Spectrum in 2007 and also served on charitable boards and committees across the state. 

Spectrum Healthcare Partners, with offices in South Portland and Bangor, was formed from the 1996 merger of three independent practices. 

With more than 200 physicians practicing across several medical specialties, the company claims to be Maine’s largest statewide multi-specialty, physician-owned and –directed professional organization. 

Tributes 

Online tributes from colleagues and friends pay homage to Landry’s business skills and dedication to patient care.

“David left a legacy of strong business acumen, a commitment to quality patient care, and an unmatched generosity,” wrote Susan Keiler. “He will be missed personally and by many, many of us in the field.”

Adrian Moran commented that he and Landry often sat at other sides of the table during business negotiations, during which Landry "was always committed to improving patient care and doing the right thing for patients."

Expressing gratitude to Landry for hiring her as his executive assistant 10 years ago, Danielle Giguere remarked that she feels very fortunate to have known him both personally and professionally for many years. 

“David was an extraordinary leader, a kind friend and one of the most influential people in my life,” she wrote. “That is how I will always remember him.”
