POSTED IN: 2023 Quarter 3, EM Pulse - The Official Newsletter of MOCEP,

MOCEP would like to recognize the tragic loss of one of its own, Scott Hall, MD who passed away in a tragic UTV accident over the July 4th, 2023 weekend. Dr. Hall was an established leader in Emergency Medicine and EMS for the northwest region of Missouri. Dr. Hall was passionate about rural EMS, serving as an EMT then paramedic for NTA Ambulance district for years before, and throughout medical school. He then went on to receive his medical degree, completed a residency in Emergency Medicine from the University of Kansas Medical Center, and served as Chief Resident.

Following residency Dr. Hall assumed leadership rapidly, serving as EMS Medical director for Buchanan County and NTA Ambulance district, and as Medical Director for Mosaic Life Care – St. Joseph Emergency Department, and Harrison County Community Hospital Emergency Department. Dr. Hall was also active in MOCEP, serving on the Rural EM committee and was a speaker for the 2022 MO EM Symposium, focusing on Rural Emergency Medicine. Remembered by his colleagues for his hard work and generosity, his legacy will live on through the thousands of lives he saved and many colleagues who will continue to save lives due to his teachings.

MOCEP has submitted a memorial resolution to ACEP recognizing the contributions of Dr. Hall. We send our heartfelt condolences to his wife, daughter, and the entire Hall family.
