Welcome to Van Buren County Hospital

Sonya Bohon, M.D.

I am a Virginia girl, born and raised.  I grew up in Chesterfield County and graduated from Manchester High School.  My mother still lives in my childhood home as my father passed away in 2021.  I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a bachelor's degree in chemistry.  Magna Cum Laude.  I attended the University of Virginia Medical School and graduated with my MD in 1999.  I completed my family medicine residency training in 2002 at Penn State Good Samaritan Hospital in Lebanon, PA.  I worked for Carilion Clinic starting in July 2002 in Rocky Mount, Virginia and left in March 2025 to pursue opportunities in locum tenens work through CompHealth.

I became a doctor because of the influences that happened to me as a child.  My mother had open heart surgery when I was 8 years old.  I was fascinated with what happened to her and I wanted to know the details.  She took me to meet her cardiologist, Dr Holland, several months later.  I still remember that day and the details of his office and our conversation.  I was hooked.  I knew then that I wanted to be a doctor.  During medical school, I took many elective rotations during my 4th year, and it was then that I figured out that I wanted to be a family doctor.

Growing up so close to a large city, I knew that I did not want to live in a place where I was just a name or a number.  I wanted my children to grow up in a small town, so I chose Rocky Mount.  I wanted them to see how a small town can provide one the best in life.  My sons, Nicholas and Jacob, got to experience that firsthand when we went through a tragic event in our lives 8 years ago with the loss of our home.  Our home burned to the ground and so many people in our community came to help us.  We were so grateful for everything that people provided us.  My sons continue to live in the area as my oldest is now married and has 3 children.

I look forward to the opportunity to provide the best care I can possibly provide for this community.  Thank you to Van Buren County Hospital for bringing me here.
