Dr. Brandi O'connor
Overview
I believe in team-based care, which includes patients, their family members, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, therapists and other specialists. In my role we treat patients for major health events such as heart attacks or heart failure. We give them the tools, medications and motivation to improve their physical health. My clinical interests include lipid disorders, coronary artery disease, heart failure and pulmonary emboli. I like working in a field, like cardiology, which involves all systems within the body.|Why I Love My Work|I love being part of a team that helps to improve the quality of life of patients. After proper treatment, many patients often tell me they have never felt better – both physically and mentally. I love helping my patients feel the best they possibly can!|Getting to Know Me|Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, camping, hunting, watching Vikings football and spending time with my friends and family.

CentraCare Heart & Vascular Center
As a nurse practitioner at the CentraCare Heart & Vascular Center, I enjoy helping people with heart failure build the skills needed to manage their disease. My entire nursing career has been with CentraCare.|Why I Love My Work|I strive to provide the same comfort and compassion shown to my family when we went through a journey with a serious illness. Years ago, my son, at age 7, was diagnosed with brain cancer. Throughout his treatment, the nurses provided medical expertise, comfort, a listening ear and the silly playfulness my son needed at that time. These nurses inspired me to become a nurse. I received my bachelor’s degree in nursing in 2007 and became a nurse practitioner in 2015. My son is now in his 30s and doing well!|Getting to Know Me|Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, hiking, camping and spending time with my family.
