Let's Talk About B!
Hi there! I'm Belinda, and my journey in healthcare began long before I ever stepped foot in a skilled nursing facility. At just 15 years old, I became a caregiver to my quadriplegic father – an experience that shaped not only who I am today, but my entire understanding of what compassionate care truly means.That early experience taught me lessons you can't learn in any textbook: the importance of dignity in care, the strength that comes from vulnerability, and how the right support can transform lives. It's what led me to spend the last 23 years immersed in the world of healthcare – not just as an observer, but as someone who truly believes in the power of quality healthcare and the people who make it happen.My professional journey started as a CNA, where those early caregiving lessons came full circle. I understood firsthand what it means to care for others during their most vulnerable moments, and more importantly, what families need during those challenging times.As I grew into my role as Regional Director of Business Development, overseeing 23 incredible staff members, I discovered my true passion – helping healthcare facilities not just survive, but flourish. I've had the privilege of creating specialized programs like Memory Care Units, Trache/Dialysis Programs, and Respiratory Programs that have transformed how facilities serve their communities.But here's what really drives me: I've seen too many talented facility owners and healthcare professionals struggle with growth, not because they lack heart or skill, but because they need someone who understands their unique challenges – someone who's been there, both personally and professionally. That's why I founded BHawkins Consulting.When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me staying energized through hitting the gym, playing with grandchildren or being a dog momma! I believe that taking care of ourselves helps us better serve others – something I learned early on as a young caregiver.My mission is simple: to share the knowledge I've gained over 20 plus years and help facility owners like you build thriving businesses that make a real difference in people's lives. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your business and or your team to the next level, I'm here to guide you through every step of the journey. Ready to grow together?
