Lisa Hughes, NP

At NYU Langone at Trinity, I am committed to delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care to children from newborns to 18 years old. My approach to healthcare is deeply influenced by my own childhood health challenges, which ignited my passion for this field. I am particularly enthusiastic about preventive medicine and enjoy discussing nutrition and lifestyle choices that promote holistic health. Additionally, as an international board-certified lactation consultant, I provide support for both breast- and bottle-feeding.

My primary focus is on children’s primary care, encompassing both sick and wellness visits. Having practiced in diverse urban settings like Boston, Los Angeles, and New York City, I have developed a keen understanding of the unique needs of children and families in these environments. I am excited to be a part of NYU Langone, where we prioritize quality, evidence-based care and seamless, coordinated healthcare experiences.

Building lasting relationships with my patients and their families has always been a cornerstone of my practice. I believe that a robust support system is essential for a child’s growth and wellbeing, and I aim to be a vital part of that team. My dedication to proactive healthcare engagement ensures that my patients receive the highest level of care and support.

My journey into the medical field began with my own health struggles as a child and the exceptional care I received from nurses. This inspired me to pursue a career as a pediatric nurse practitioner. These experiences have solidified my belief in the importance of a strong patient–provider relationship, and I am committed to nurturing these connections at NYU Langone at Trinity.
