Lauren Jacobsen, PA-C

North Tucson, AZ

“My goal is to provide compassionate, high-quality care and to make a positive impact on the lives of those in my community.”

About Me

I was born and raised in Arizona, and my journey has come full circle as I return to my roots to practice as a Physician Assistant. My collegiate experience at Northern Arizona University, where I played Division I volleyball, instilled in me a strong sense of discipline and teamwork that I now apply in my medical career. I completed my PA studies in New Mexico, but my desire to give back to the community that supported me throughout my journey led me back to Arizona. I am passionate about health and wellness and find great fulfillment in building meaningful relationships with my patients. I’m excited to contribute to the well-being of my fellow Tucsonans and to support them on their path to better health.

I worked as a medical scribe for about three years in various specialties, including melanoma oncology, geriatrics, podiatry, plastic surgery, and hand surgery, before attending PA school.

Favorite activity outside of work

Outside of work, I love exploring Tucson with my husband and our two dogs, spending quality time with family, and staying active through beach volleyball, pickleball, and golfing.
