Sara Larson, M.D., M.S.

I am a family medicine physician who works as a full-time hospitalist in Mankato and St. James.

My professional interests include general day-to-day care of hospitalized patients, perioperative medicine, maternity care and supporting patients through cancer treatment and survivorship. I feel privileged to help patients set healthy goals and achieve them. My hopes are to utilize my outpatient clinic background to coordinate comprehensive and personalized discharge plans for hospital patients.

When not serving patients, I enjoy taking walks with friends and family, playing board games, crocheting, and learning French.
