A registered nurse for more than 15 years, Diana Baptiste specializes in cardiovascular health care and prevention in underserved populations.

She recently expanded her clinical practice to the Johns Hopkins Hospital adult emergency department, where she serves as an evidence-based practice nurse consultant, guiding the development of quality improvement projects and publications for the department. She has presented nationally, internationally and published peer-reviewed papers in areas of heart failure and cultural humility. Dr. Baptiste teaches in courses across all levels of the pre-licensure nursing program. She is currently serving as the President of the Nu Beta chapter for the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society and is dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion.
