A New Era in Neurology
The Saint Louis University School of Medicine and SSM SLUCare Physician Group welcomed Diana Greene-Chandos, M.D., as the Sylvia N. Souers Endowed Chair in Neurology in January 2024. She brings a wealth of knowledge of neurocritical care, medical education and leadership to the School of Medicine.
Alongside her work as a practicing neurointensivist, Greene-Chandos has energetically embraced her new role as chair. She is developing a five-year strategic plan for the neurology department that includes hiring exceptional neurologists and enhancing research opportunities; sharpening SLU鈥檚 capabilities in patient care and neurology education; treatment in epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, movement disorders, neurocritical care and stroke; and recruiting academic neurologists in neuroimmunology, neuro-oncology and memory disorders will be another clear focus.
But what Greene-Chandos appreciates most of all is the warm welcome she has received from the community. Not only are her colleagues excited she is here, but they are rallying around her leadership to propel SLU neurology forward into a new realm of possibilities.
鈥淎s a team, we work together for the patients, the education, and the research,鈥� Greene-Chandos said. 鈥淎s long as we are transparent with where we are going and supporting one another along the way, I think we will be in really good shape and good things are on the horizon.鈥�
