FOX6: Trauma Program Manager leads way at Children’s Wisconsin

"You could say one of the hardest parts of Kristin Braun's job is the unpredictability, but she thrives on it.

"It's the chaos of, 'I don't know what you're going to come in with, but we'll work with it and provide you the best care,'" said Braun.

Now, as the Trauma Program Manager at Children's Wisconsin, she trains staff — from residents and fellows to trauma surgeons and anesthesiologists.

It's not just staff who appreciate Kristin — her husband, Patrick, wanted us to know what a remarkable woman she is, celebrating her professional and personal accomplishments."

FOX6 recently held a contest called 'Remarkable Women' as part of a nationwide initiative to honor women making an impact in their communities. From a plethora of entries, four well-deserving finalists emerged.

Their second finalist is Kristin Braun from Children's Wisconsin.
