Ridley Barron Biography

No one could have predicted the course of events that brought Lisa and Ridley Barron together. God works that way sometimes. The end result for them is an amazing picture of faith, determination, and promise.

Ridley Barron's family was ravaged by a terrible car accident that took his wife, followed by a hospital-induced medication error that took his toddler. Lisa’s family was ripped by the pain of failed marriages and broken promises. From the ashes of their individual stories, they have partnered together to bring the good that God promises can come in even the worst situations.

Now, as they work to “swirl” (a word they prefer over blending) their family, they also work to encourage others in the medical industry and in faith-based settings. Ridley Barron has emerged as a nationally known speaker on topics such as quality of care, survivor guilt, sentinel events, and the second victim in hospital errors. He delivers a presentation titled "Every 1/2 Second Counts—a victim’s perspective on quality care," emphasizing the importance of quality of care, full disclosure, and creating a safe, patient-first environment in healthcare settings. His motivational talks, which are based on personal experiences, particularly the tragic event involving his son, highlight the need for safety and care in healthcare. Despite not being a healthcare professional, he uses his experience to speak on improving patient safety and care. Additionally, Barron leads marriage and family retreats, young adult and youth conferences, and leadership training for various organizations.

Lisa’s own reputation has grown as she speaks to encourage women around the country with words gained from practical insight, laughter, and personal faith. Together, they form a partnership founded on bringing positive change. They do this in a wide array of venues, including their marriage retreats and blended family seminars. Their purpose is to bring hope, healing, and forgiveness wherever the doors of opportunity open.

Today, Ridley and Lisa Barron have four children: Morgan, Harrison, Abby, and Landon. They reside in Thompsons Station, TN, where they continue to inspire and foster discussions among healthcare workers through their presentations, aiming to provide encouragement and promote a focus on patient safety.
