WHAT WE DO

Healthcare doesn’t get to pause.

Your resiliency program shouldn’t either. 

Wakefield Brunswick helps healthcare organizations build practical, integrated resiliency programs that protect patient care, essential operations, and organizational stability before, during, and after disruption. Whether you are building a program from the ground up or advancing an established one, we work alongside your team to turn complex challenges into clear priorities, actionable plans, and lasting capabilities. 

From strategy to sustained readiness, we help you: 

  • Set the direction
    Through strategic planning, maturity assessments, and program roadmaps.

  • Understand what matters most
    Through data-driven Business Impact Analyses and dependency assessments. 

  • Turn insights into action
    Through integrated resiliency plans, business continuity workshops, training, and exercises.

  • Strengthen long-term performance
    Through governance, program audits, ownership structures, KPIs, and continuous improvement. 

Our healthcare-exclusive approach connects clinical care, ancillary and support services, technology, facilities, workforce, supply chain, and leadership—helping organizations respond with clarity, recover with confidence, and continue moving forward. 

Build a resiliency program that works when it matters most.

how we PREPARE

Business Continuity Workshops + Exercises

Wakefield Brunswick delivers healthcare business continuity workshops and realistic exercises for healthcare coalitions, state hospital associations, and regional and national healthcare organizations. Drawing on extensive healthcare experience, our facilitators make continuity practical—helping participants build and strengthen plans they can use at the unit, department, and facility levels. 

From interactive plan-development workshops and discussion-based tabletops to functional and operations-based exercises, we design realistic scenarios that test how interdependent clinical, ancillary, operational, technology, facility, and leadership functions work together to maintain continuity of care. 

Each engagement is tailored to the organization’s goals and delivered onsite or virtually, with clear objectives, facilitated hotwashes, after-action reporting, and improvement planning that identify gaps, validate plans, and strengthen the broader business continuity program. 

how we advise

Advising + International Health 

For more than two decades, Wakefield Brunswick has helped healthcare organizations navigate complex operational, public health, and resiliency challenges. We bring that experience beyond individual client engagements through speaking engagements, expert panels, think tanks, professional forums, and advisory groups at the local, state, and national levels. These opportunities allow our team to share practical lessons, contribute to important industry conversations, and help shape the future of healthcare resiliency and continuity. 

Our international advising work extends this perspective across borders. We support initiatives focused on international health and sustainable development, health equity and access, community-centered health systems, and international disaster response. By connecting global experience with practical healthcare operations, we help partners develop culturally responsive and sustainable approaches that strengthen health systems before, during, and after crisis—and bring those insights back to the organizations we serve.
