Lisa Walker, NP

Lisa Walker, NP, began her nursing career in 2007 after completing her Bachelor of Science from George Mason University. Shortly after graduation, she began working in Labor and Delivery at Alexandria Hospital, and then transferred to Mother/Baby (postpartum) at Fairfax Hospital, where she spent four years. While there, she began George Mason’s Masters’ of Science in Nursing Program (MSN), which she completed in 2012. After graduation, she moved back to the Tidewater area.

After obtaining board certification as a Family nurse practitioner, she got her start working at a medical spa, and shortly after, landed a full-time position working with Dr. Hansen at Bon Secours’ Center for Pain Management. When the practice consolidated, she accepted a position at Bon Secours’ Greenbrier Medical Associates, doing primary care, and also home health/hospice. She and Dr. Hansen reconnected in 2015, and she joined him again shortly after (March 2016).

She loves the challenges that doing pain management brings, and also the rewards. She loves being able to spend time connecting with her patients and building relationships. She went into nursing to help others and believes that the foundation of nursing, as well as medicine, is trust, patient autonomy, compassion, empathy, and engagement. She loves learning new things and bringing knowledge into the room with a patient. When not in the office, you will find her at the gym doing spin class, traveling, spending time outdoors, and with family and friends.
