NORTH BEND, WA – Snoqualmie Valley Health welcomes Chitralekha Pasupuleti, MD, an internal medicine physician with more than a decade of experience, to its care team at the newly opened North Bend Clinic.

She was drawn to Snoqualmie Valley Health because of its role as an independent public hospital and its strong connection to the community it serves. Her approach to care emphasizes partnering with patients to manage chronic conditions, promote preventive health and empower individuals through education and shared decision-making.

“I believe in meeting patients where they are and supporting them in achieving long-term health and wellness,” Dr. Pasupuleti said. “Building trust and helping patients understand their health are central to the care I provide.”

With a strong background in caring for adult patients, Pasupuleti brings expertise across a broad range of medical needs, including chronic disease management, preventive care and patient education. She earned her medical degree from the University of Notre Dame in Perth, Australia, and completed her internal medicine residency at Southern Illinois University.

Her career includes several leadership roles reflecting a commitment to clinical excellence and collaborative care. She spent more than eight years as medical director for hospitalist services at Virginia Mason Franciscan Health’s St. Clare Hospital in Lakewood and Tacoma. Since 2021, she has also served as chief of medicine at St. Clare Hospital, a role to which she was elected in recognition of her dedication to quality care and teamwork.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Pasupuleti enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling, and cooking for family and friends. She is married and has one child currently in college.
