Our Team

Skilled & Compassionate Staff

From the clinic to the operating room, we have a world-class team devoted to your care and getting you back to the activities you love.

Kate Braunsky

Clinical Nurse Coordinator

Originally from St. Louis, Kate received her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing in 2008 from Western Michigan University.  From there she moved to Chicago, IL where she began her nursing career in orthopedics at Rush University Medical Center and Midwest Orthopedics at Rush.  After many years in Chicago, some of which were spent working alongside Dr. Hannon, she and her family decided it was time to move back home.  She joined Washington University Orthopedics as a Nurse Coordinator in 2019.  One of Kate’s biggest passions is supporting patients on their joint replacement journey so they can get back to the activities they love.

When not caring for patients, Kate enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters, hiking, and cheering on her beloved Green Bay Packers.
