Fifteen years ago I founded Wakefield Brunswick. Since that time, we have had the privilege of advising and collaborating with the leading healthcare organizations nationwide. It is a special milestone and I am excited to share new details as we kick off the New Year.
Wakefield Brunswick and The Field Innovation Team have been deployed to SW Florida to provide response and recovery support to communities most impacted by Hurricane Ian. While Wakefield Brunswick will coordinate volunteers to support or augment personnel within healthcare organizations, FIT is supporting the needs of local emergency management organizations and the greater community with extensive experience in mass care sheltering (Washington, Texas, Florida, and Alabama communities) as well as co-building new solutions in response and recovery gaps.
We are thrilled to announce that our team of advisors has been growing! Wakefield Brunswick advisors serve as subject matter experts on client projects related to healthcare emergency management, continuity of operations, business continuity, exercise development, and disaster recovery. Their support to Client Services ensures the successful delivery of engagements across the advisory and education service lines.
Wakefield Brunswick has moved offices and headquarters to the modern working space Hyde House in Tampa, Florida. Our team remains complete remote and we are following all Hillsborough Couty and Florida state-issued guidelines regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, but we are looking forward to convening as a team in the new space when it is safe to do so.

We have been fielding requests from the Emergency Operations Centers in the impacted counties in Southwest Florida. Wakefield Brunswick resources provided are volunteer and covered by our incident response team budget. We provide ESF-8 EOC support and coordinate resources such as supplementing staffing and resource needs to impacted healthcare providers. Read our entire week one Field Summary Report here.
Outside of my professional role, the equestrian world has been a huge part my life for the past decade. While I had not expected that my obsession with horses would cross over into the FIT/WB Hurricane Ian effort, it began to quickly make sense in this case. But before I explain why, I want to share a story of the “unicorn” who has been a source of inspiration for all of us who have met him and love him. - Angela Devlen, CEO
