Lisa Mendelson has been a nurse practitioner at the Boston University Amyloidosis Center since 2017. She obtained her nurse practitioner degree from MGH Institute of Health Professions in 2010 and prior to coming to BU worked in private practice cardiology and hepatology in San Mateo, CA. In addition to her clinical practice she participates as a reviewer for multiple peer reviewed journals, is an active board member for the Amyloidosis Research Consortium-Patient Discovery and has authored multiple publications with a focus on amyloidosis awareness. She is the recipient of the BU Medical Group's 2019 clinical excellence award, 2024 National Daisy Award in Nursing.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
Initially I was annoyed at having to write a DEIA statement. As a mid level provider I do not have the power to tailor my practice or career the same as a physician. We are assigned what patients we will see and what research we participate in. Then I realized, I am actually annoyed at myself because it is my, not the institution’s responsibility to be mindful and ever cognizant of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility. Growing up I lived with refugee families from all over the world, we housed families while getting them set up with jobs, healthcare and housing. The racism and hurdles these families faced all was horrifying and I vowed to ensure that no matter what I did “when I grow up” I would be part of the solution. My previous employments focused on marginalized populations- home care for elderly, social worker for department of child and family, healthcare for the homeless…My current position does not and that is my fault. So thank you BU for making me write this statement and making me realize I have lost myself over the past few years and become complacent. I vow to do better in the future.
