Lauren Salmon, DO

After earning her medical degree from the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine in Blacksburg, Dr. Salmon completed an Internal Medicine residency at Christiana Care Hospital in Newark, Delaware.

With special interests in breast and gastrointestinal cancers, she strives to incorporate symptom management, mental well-being and spiritual support into the treatment plan for every patient.
