2013: Frances “Hallam” Hurt ’63, Neonatologist

Frances “Hallam” Hurt ’63 is an attending neonatologist and Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research and work have focused on the effects of maternal substance use on immediate and long-term outcomes for children, understanding poverty and other complex factors that affect the lives of poor and inner-city children.
Dr. Hurt graduated from Sweet Briar College and received her M.D. from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, where she also completed her internship, residency, and fellowship. She is the author or co-author of dozens of professional papers focusing primarily on gestational drug use and high risk infants as well as underserved children and the precursors to drug use in youth. U.S. News has named Dr. Hurt among the top 1% of neonatologists in the nation.

In 2005, the Hallam Hurt '63 Student & Faculty Foreign Travel Award was established to help Chatham Hall students pursue a question they’ve been burning to answer.
