    Dr. Sara C. LaHue is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurology at UCSF. She is a neurohospitalist (neurologist focused on the care of hospitalized adults), researcher and educator. Her research interests span several areas within neurology, though the majority of her grant-funded work centers on translational investigations of delirium, sleep, and cognitive impairment in hospitalized patients. She is also passionate about improving the care of women with neurological disorders through educational initiatives and research.

    She is coauthor of the book "Emergency Neurology, 2nd Ed." (Oxford University Press 2021).

    Dr. LaHue obtained her medical degree and completed residency in Neurology at UCSF, where she served as chief resident. She also completed her Neurohospitalist Fellowship at UCSF. Dr. LaHue is board certified in Neurology.
