S1E5: Barbara Gaynor-How a patient advocate can help you navigate the complex healthcare system

Our mission at The Nurse Shark Academy is to expand the consciousness of nurses as experts to reflect their individual and collective power by promoting self-agency through inspiring nurses to dream big, reach far, and soar to new heights in business and the profession of nursing thereby producing a healthier & richer society.

 

We interview nurses who business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders. We want to hear inspiring stories from the nurse next door who is making a difference in the entrepreneurial and business space. Welcome to our guest today, Barbara Gaynor of Braddock Consulting & Advocacy, LLC.

 

 

Barbara Gaynor has been a nurse for over 25 years, in varied areas. In 2015, Barbara ventured into the field of Legal Nurse Consulting. In 2022, Barbara decided to leverage her expertise yet again but this time to assist patients. She's always had a passion to give advice and noticed that many patients had difficulty understanding what their physicians were telling about their medical condition, so with inspiration from friends and family, she expanded her business to include advocacy. Hence, the current name, of Braddock Consulting & Advocacy LLC. Barbara was born in Wimbledon, England but was raised in Jamaica. After graduating from school and getting married, she migrated to the USA with her family, living in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Through this journey, Barbara had three sons, got divorced in 2001, and after the death of her mother, moved to Cincinnati, Ohio in 2013. Barbara loves traveling, preferably cruising; watching PBS cooking shows; reading romance novels, and meeting people from all walks of life. She loves to learn something every day.
