Personal
Dr. Cederstrom was born and raised in the Midwest, the daughter of two Laotian refugees and proud small business owners. Her family taught her the importance of culture, work ethic and devotion to family. Through each personal interaction with the healthcare system, she became acutely aware of the immense disparities that people face from all walks of life. This desire for health equity fuels her passions today. She loves to be involved in community outreach, especially within the Lao community. Most recently she was a guest speaker for a series of virtual town halls/podcasts in partnership with the Lao American National Alliance that sought to dispel medical misinformation.
Her hobbies include pet rehabilitation/foster, furniture repurposing, reading and spending quality time with her husband and son.
