Sonia Subudhi Warwick helps guide CPCQC’s infant-focused work. As the Infant Initiative Manager and Quality Improvement Lead, she leads NEST (Newborn Evidence-based Sleep Teaching), a statewide hospital-based program launching in 2026 that aims to make safe sleep education and support a routine part of newborn care while recognizing the diverse environments and experiences of Colorado families.

Drawing on her background in clinical care and public health, Sonia works to strengthen the systems that shape newborn care. She’s guided by her belief that every child deserves the chance for a healthy life from the very start. Before joining CPCQC, Sonia most recently led a perinatal nutrition initiative with the Philadelphia Department of Public Health to improve maternal mental health and birth outcomes by expanding access to healthy foods through community partnerships, while caring for children as an emergency department pediatrician at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Across her work, she has remained interested in the many factors that shape infant care and family decision-making and has published on how culture and technology influence infant care decisions in the postpartum period. Now based in Colorado, she works with CPCQC to advance statewide efforts to improve newborn outcomes while continuing to care for infants and children in the outpatient setting.

Sonia earned her undergraduate degree in Community Health from Brown University and her medical degree from Eastern Virginia Medical School. She completed her pediatric residency at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland through the UCSF PLUS program focused on health equity and community engagement, followed by a Master of Public Health from UC Berkeley.

Outside of work, Sonia enjoys cooking, yoga, and pottery.
