Lauren Sonderegger

Lauren Sonderegger is a family physician who works for Valley Wide Health Systems, a federally-qualified health center in the San Luis Valley. Since she moved to the SLV in 2018, she has practiced full-scope family medicine, including inpatient, outpatient and obstetrical care, with patients of all ages and stages. She initially pursued the study of medicine at the University of California San Francisco, driven by a passion for service to underserved populations. After having lived, studied and worked cumulatively for several years in Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and El Salvador, she speaks Spanish and strives to use language skills to bridge cultural divides and deliver patient-centered care. She completed family medicine residency at Swedish Cherry Hill in Seattle, WA, where she gained experience and training in all aspects of family medicine but with special focus in addiction medicine, reproductive justice, physician advocacy and community health in underserved settings. A strong interest in caring for those with substance use disorders and for those formerly incarcerated is what first connected her to CRP in 2018 via collaboration on its drug diversion programs. She is delighted to now serve on the Board of CRP, where she hopes her interests in social justice, public health and addiction can support operations of CRP’s vital programs. When not working, Lauren enjoys trail running, public radio and exploring different cultures through food.
