About Laurena D. Richardson
“It’s immensely fulfilling to be able to help people through their medical issues,” says Laurena. With a specialized focus on internal medicine and geriatrics, she collaborates with our primary care team to support patients and to help meet their immediate care needs.
In her work with patients, Laurena emphasizes shared decision-making. “The most successful care plan is usually one that a patient has actively participated in,” she says. “I want patients to understand their options and to know that there’s always time for discussion, questions and clarification. When they leave our visits, my hope is that they feel well informed and empowered to make decisions.”
Laurena studied biochemistry and psychology at the University of Colorado Boulder before completing a Master of Science degree at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. She earned her physician assistant certificate at Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, Md.
In her free time, Laurena enjoys hiking, knitting, spinning, baking and reading. She’s always open to recommendations for the next good hike or book.

Providence Patient

Providence Patient
The only issue I take is wishing the medical permission slip would have been faxed directly after the virtual appointment I had with Lorena.I was acutely ill and my place of work kept calling me that no permission slip had been faxed. I did not feel up to trying to call the doctor office and my job, back and forth to get things moving. BUT, I did anyway. In the future, it would be so helpful to just have such things be faxed the same day and then the person who is ill can just work on getting better.That said, Lorena was fabulous!! I have not had her as a provider before. She was very compassionate without being sappy. She was always present and listening. Professional, learned, and spoke clearly at a nice pace. Genuine and cared about my concerns, questions, and answered them well. Thank you, Lorena !!
