Mei Liu, founder of Lotus Health Foundation and Chief Financial Officer of Rochester Clinic, earned her master’s degree in Health Care Administration and MBA from Des Moines University and Drake University. Within her current role, Mei works to promote lifestyle medicine as the most effective solution for health care crises in finance, human health and the environment.

Being a certified Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) facilitator, Mei and the physician team at Rochester Clinic first introduced this lifestyle medicine education program to the Rochester community in 2015. It was after witnessing the health improvement of more than 100 CHIP participants and realizing the need in the community that she founded Lotus Health Foundation, the non-profit arm of Rochester Clinic, in 2016.

Mei is actively involved with community outreach and advocates for underserved populations to address health disparity. She also works frequently with local businesses and collaborative partners to grow health and wellness in the community. Outside of work she enjoys cooking and gardening.
