Biography Joined UT Southwestern: 2008 Dr. Christiana Hall, MD, MS, FNCS is a Professor of Neurology with secondary appointment to Neurosurgery. Her subspecialties within Neurology include Neurocritical Care and Vascular Neurology. Leadership: Dr. Hall served as Interim Neurocritical Care Division Director during 2012 and then as Medical Director for the Neurocritical Care Unit at Parkland Hospital from 2013 – 2018. When the new Parkland hospital opened in 2015 she led the move of the Parkland Neurocritical practice into its new fully independent Neurocritical Care Unit venue there. Clinical Interests: Dr. Hall currently serves as Chief of Service for Neurology at the Parkland Hospital. From opening in 1894, Parkland has become one of the largest and busiest public hospital systems in the nation. The gleaming new hospital with capacity for nearly 900 patients opened in 2015 soon joined alongside by the new full service Anderson Clinic facility. Encircling main campus are 20 outpatient clinic sites reaching deeply into the Dallas community. Neurology offers the full scope of specialty care services delivered by UTSW Faculty, with Fellows and Residents. The entire 16th floor with commanding city views, offers 66 beds dedicated to Neuroscience practice. Shoulder to shoulder with the level 1 Trauma center and renowned Burn Center, some of Neurology’s crown jewels at Parkland include the Joint Commission Certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, level 4 Epilepsy Center and the 2020 opening of a comprehensive Neurology directed Sleep Center – the largest in any public health system in the country. Parkland then and now remains one among the prime sites for our comprehensive multisite UTSW education programs in Neurology. Trainee Education: Dr. Hall first established the Neurocritical Fellowship garnering its UCNS accreditation in 2009 the first year this designation became available. She served as Program Director for 6 years seeing it expand to 5 fellows in training. Research: Dr Hall’s research interests have focused on Intracerebral Hemorrhage and the potential therapeutic effects of regulating glucose in critically ill neurological patients. The latter area Dr. Hall has pursued continuously since her final year of residency training. She has been a local PI contributing in several large studies in ICH (and SAH) important to the Stroke and Neurocritical Care communities and she has been a PI for the SHINE trial (U01 NS069498) a large North American multi-site randomized controlled trial of glucose regulation in acute stroke patients with type 2 diabetes. Our trial showed that regulating glucose to target levels < 180 mg/dL using a sub-cutaneous insulin strategy produced similar outcomes with less risk of hypoglycemia when compared to controlling glucose to lower levels (<130 mg/dL) by use of insulin drip. Background: She Is a 1995 graduate of the Medical College of Georgia. She trained 2 years in Neurosurgery at the University of New Mexico before returning to the Medical College of Georgia to complete her Neurology residency. She joined The University Texas at Houston to complete fellowships in both Neurocritical Care and Vascular Neurology. She holds board certifications in Neurocritical Care (UCNS) and in Neurology and Vascular Neurology (ABPN.) She served as Neurology faculty at the Medical College of Georgia form 2004-2008. She contributed there as a cofounder in developing the REACH telestroke system one of the earliest effective models to serve rural Georgia with expansion of the REACH system to distant states as well. She also formally opened a new NeuroIntensivist led Neurocritical Care program there and as co-director of the Neurocritical Unit participated in designing its expansion from 10 to 20 Neuro ICU beds. Affiliations: Dr. Hall has been active in the Neurocritical Care Society since its 2003 inception serving 8 years on its Board of Directors also serving a term on its Executive Committee. She also served 11 years on the Society’s Research Committee. She was elected to Fellowship in the Society in 2013.
