Elevating Healthcare, One Professional and Project at a Time

About The Founder

Brenda Lormil Raymond, MSN, FNP-C, is a healthcare leader, Nurse Practitioner, educator, and consultant with more than fifteen years of experience across clinical practice, academic instruction, research, and workforce development. Her work sits at the intersection of clinical excellence, professional identity formation, and transition to practice readiness, helping healthcare professionals and institutions strengthen both people and systems.

Brenda currently serves as a Nurse Practitioner in Phase I Oncology Research Center at the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute in Boston, MA. In her role, she provides patient centered care to individuals enrolled in early phase clinical trials while advancing equitable access to research participation. Her clinical background spans inpatient oncology, rehabilitation, home health, and sub acute care, giving her a comprehensive, real world understanding of the challenges faced across the healthcare continuum.

She is also the Founder of the Haitian American Medical Association (HAMA), a nonprofit dedicated to advancing health literacy, mentorship, and scholarship opportunities for future healthcare leaders. Through this work, she has led educational initiatives, interdisciplinary conferences, and community programs that have made a meaningful impact locally and nationally.

Her scholarly work has been featured in national conferences and peer reviewed publications, and her leadership has been recognized through multiple honors, including a City of Boston Healthcare Impact Resolution, the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Equity Award, and the U.S. Haitian Chamber of Commerce Young Leaders Award.

In 2021, Brenda formally launched VDI Consulting, initially supporting organizations through project based consulting, tailored public speaking, and healthcare focused event planning. As her work expanded, she recognized a deeper need to support not only organizations but also the professionals within them. This realization led to the intentional evolution of VDI into two core areas: consulting and professional development.

Her story reflects a journey from bedside nurse to educator, from nonprofit founder to healthcare consultant, guided by a deep commitment to service, leadership, and growth. Across every role, she is known for creating experiences that are thoughtful, human centered, and grounded in real world insight.

She looks forward to partnering with healthcare leaders, academic institutions, and organizations committed to strengthening their teams, developing future leaders, and building systems that support people to thrive.
