Redefining preparedness and resiliency for healthcare organizations
When healthcare is disrupted, every decision matters.
Wakefield Brunswick helps healthcare organizations turn uncertainty into operational readiness, protecting patient care, sustaining essential services, and giving leaders and frontline teams the confidence to act when normal systems and workflows are under pressure.
Our integrated business continuity and resiliency approach connects clinical care, operations, technology, facilities, workforce, and leadership, so readiness is built into the way your organization works.
Who we are
Changing how healthcare organizations prepare for what comes next.
Founded in 2009 by Angela Devlen, Wakefield Brunswick has spent nearly two decades partnering with leading healthcare organizations in the United States and around the world. We are proud to help our partners anticipate risk, protect patient care, and strengthen organizational resiliency.
We bring together real-world disaster deployment experience, deep healthcare and regulatory expertise, and a practical understanding of how hospitals operate under pressure. The result is business continuity and resiliency programs that move beyond paper—accessible, actionable, and built to perform when the stakes are highest.

Healthcare Cybersecurity Exercises
Plans alone cannot demonstrate how an organization will maintain patient care during a cyberattack, technology outage, or extended downtime. Wakefield Brunswick designs and facilitates realistic exercises, from discussion-based tabletops to operational exercises, that test decisions, communications, workflows, staff readiness, and coordination when systems and information are disrupted.
