Meet the Visionaries Behind Burst
Eric Hansen
Chief Executive Officer; Founder; Top Healthcare Influencer; Master Life Coach
Eric Hansen understands both sides of long-term care because he’s lived them.
As a provider, he saw facilities struggle with shrinking margins and missed opportunities. As a vendor, he witnessed suppliers profit from these gaps. This dual perspective sparked a mission: transform how facilities handle Part B supplies.
Today, he leads Burst with deep healthcare expertise and proven business acumen:
- 15 years in long-term care
- Award-winning national sales director
- Certified Master Prompt Engineer MEDDIC for Managers certification
- Master Sales Consultant, Easton University
Credentials aside, Eric’s real qualification is simple: He knows where facilities lose money because he’s seen it from both sides of the table.
Shawn Barron
Chief Revenue Officer; LTC Sales Expert; Regional Director and VP of Sales
Shawn Barron doesn’t just understand long-term care sales—he’s redefined them.
After generating $23M in healthcare revenue and serving at every level from Regional Director to VP of Sales, he saw a pattern: facilities were leaving money on the table, not because of poor operations but because of systemic gaps in Part B reimbursements.
This insight drives his approach at Burst, where he combines extensive sales leadership with real-world facility operations experience. His dual background—corporate strategy and boots-on-the-ground operations—gives him unique insight into what facilities need to thrive.
A United States Coast Guard Reservist and Portland State University honors graduate, Shawn brings military precision to revenue optimization and a commitment to serving others above self.
Cara Hansen
Chief Operating Officer; Social Services Director; Licensed Nursing Home Administrator
Cara Hansen sees what others miss in long-term care because she’s managed it from every angle.
From Social Worker to Licensed Administrator, she’s transformed facilities at every level. Leading teams of 120+ across four facilities, she consistently achieved top state and federal survey metrics—not by cutting corners, but by optimizing operations other administrators overlook.
This frontline experience shapes Burst’s approach to Part B reimbursements. She knows exactly how facilities operate, where they struggle, and most importantly, where hidden value waits to be uncovered.
As COO, Cara brings real-world facility management expertise to every partnership, ensuring solutions that work in theory actually deliver in practice.

Take the First Step With Burst
Here’s an uncomfortable truth: Your suppliers profit from your Part B supplies while calling them ‘free.’
But facilities like yours are waking up. They’re discovering the value hidden in plain sight and reclaiming what’s rightfully theirs.
We make it simple: You give us one hour monthly. We give you back your profits.
Schedule a call. Because your supplies should work for you, not your suppliers.
