Lisa Ann K. Wiese, PhD MSN, RN, GERO-BC, PHNA-BC, CNE, FGSA (she/her/hers)

Associate Professor, Nursing
Florida Atlantic University
Boca Raton, Florida, United States

Dr. Wiese received her M.S. in Nursing from the University of Virginia, her Ph.D. in Nursing from Florida Atlantic University, (where she is an Associate Professor), and a post-graduate certificate in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from Drexel University. Dr. Wiese and a team of seven other multidisciplinary Investigators just received an R01 from the National Institute on Aging/National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate the impact of sugarcane-associated air quality, built environment, and social isolation on cognition in the unique Lake Okeechobee racially/ethnically diverse rural region of southcentral Florida. Prior funding included pivotal K01 research (NIA/NIH), with additional funding by the Florida Department of Health and Washington State University. Dr. Wiese was selected to attend the first annual Alzheimer’s Association Interdisciplinary Summer Research Institute (2021) related to her work with rural, racially/ethnically diverse older adults. She is board-certified in Advanced Public Health Nursing, Gerontological Nursing, and Rural Health Nursing, and was selected as a 2021 Hartford Distinguished Educator in Gerontological Nursing. She is grateful and thrilled to be inducted as a GSA Fellow at this year's meeting. Dr. Wiese serves on the state of Florida State Health Improvement Plan taskforce, and co-launched a new Rural Health Disparities workgroup of the Alzheimer’s Association Diversity/Disparities PIA of ISTAART. This workgroup's investigation into global rural health disparities was recently published in the Alzheimer's and Dementia journal. Dr. Wiese's community-based participatory research is focused on empowering rural, older racially/ethnically diverse adults to age in place through dementia awareness/detection/management. The construct of determining “What Matters Most” to rural residents, based on Boykin and Schoenhofer’s “Nursing as Caring” framework, guides Dr. Wiese’s work.
