Today, we’re honored to spotlight Melissa Nasser, one of the extraordinary nurses supporting patients in the lipid apheresis program at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital.
Melissa began her nursing journey in 2001 in dialysis, where she saw firsthand the power of steady, compassionate care. Those early experiences shaped her entire career and eventually led her to the state’s only lipid apheresis program.

For Melissa, this work is deeply personal. Many of the patients she sees have already faced significant challenges long before beginning treatment. Building long-term relationships, learning what brings them comfort, and creating a space where they feel supported is at the heart of her approach. “Their courage inspires me every day,” she shares.

Outside the hospital, Melissa volunteers with Live by Living, a Colorado hiking group for cancer patients—another place where she brings connection, empathy, and encouragement to those navigating difficult journeys.

What Melissa loves most about lipid apheresis is witnessing transformation: seeing patients regain strength, confidence, and quality of life. To her, nursing is partnership, compassion, and walking with people through their hardest days.

We are truly grateful for Melissa’s unparalleled dedication, empathy, and service. Thank you for all you do for lipid apheresis patients and the UCHealth community.

Getting Ready for Your First LIPOSORBER® Treatment? Here are some friendly reminders!

Preparing for your initial session can help ensure a smooth and comfortable experience. We've compiled essential tips to help you feel ready and informed:

✅ Medications: Discuss all meds and dietary restrictions with your doctor. Remember, ACE inhibitors are contraindicated—talk to your physician about switching to an ARB if needed.

✅ Transportation: Plan for a ride home, as you might feel fatigued afterward.

✅ Comfort: Wear loose, comfy clothes.

✅ Hydration & Diet: Eat a healthy, low-fat meal and stay well-hydrated the day before. Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior and caffeine on treatment morning.

✅ Logistics: Your safety and comfort are our priority, especially after your initial treatment. Since you may feel fatigued following your first session, we highly recommend arranging transportation beforehand. Please do not drive yourself home.

✅ Entertainment: Bring a book, music, or snacks to pass the time.

✅ Activity: Skip strenuous exercise on treatment day. y.
