Lucy Rashid, AGNP-C

“I enjoy working with patients with cardiac disease, from those who are critically ill requiring hospitalization and mechanical circulatory support, to those I meet for the first time in the clinic. I also truly enjoy working with the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy population and the challenges they face with their disease. I’m proud of the many groundbreaking clinical trials and treatments we continue to provide in our center for excellence.”

Rashid is a board-certified adult gerontology nurse practitioner and certified heart failure nurse. She specializes in advanced heart failure and transplant, advanced mechanical circulatory support and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a condition in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick).

Rashid is the program coordinator for the Atrium Health Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center at the Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute Heart Failure & Transplant Kenilworth.

She enjoys the opportunity to meet patients during one of the most vulnerable periods of their lives and support them on their journeys. She feels that providing care during this challenging time and seeing patients gain back their quality of life is very rewarding.

Rashid received her master’s degree in nursing from Duke University. She completed a fellowship with the Atrium Health Center for Advanced Practice, specializing in cardiology.

She is responsible for enrolling patients in ongoing clinical trials within the Atrium Health Heart Failure Program and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Program.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and son. They love being outdoors with their German shorthaired pointer, Gordie. They also enjoy watching ice hockey and cheering on the Carolina Panthers.
