Mary Amela “Lia” Walker, CRNP, FNP-C, RNC-OB

Lia has been in a caregiving role for the majority of her life, ever since growing up on a farm and helping a parent with a chronic health condition. She initually completed her college degree in Health Education, but soon realized that side of healthcare wasn’t fulfilling enough for her.

Lia went on to complete her Bachelor’s in Nursing and worked in adult critical care. Afterwards, she found her passion in women’s health while working in Labor & Delivery at Sinai Hospital. She has held several other nursing roles during her tenure, including Hospital Staff Education, Women & Children’s float nurse pool, and Outpatient OB/GYN Nurse Coordinator.

After almost 20 years in nursing, Lia felt there was another goal to achieve which has led her to our OB/GYN team as a Nurse Practitioner, which she feels is her home. Lia takes pride in making her patients feel heard and cared for with the utmost respect. She likes to focus her care in helping patients adapt to changes across the lifespan and safe sexual health.

When Lia is not working, she is busy with her husband and 3 boys. The family loves to cheer on the Baltimore Orioles and Philadelphia Eagles! Lia is an avid knitter, enjoys gardening, and hiking with her rescue dog, Camden.
