Della Santala Loredo, MD completed college and medical school in California, a residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology in Massachusetts, and a stint with the Public Health Service in Alabama. She then returned to her home state of California, where she practiced Ob/Gyn for several years before contracting viral encephalitis in 2001.
