Please join us in welcoming Larry Hall, Nurse Practitioner, to the Great Falls Clinic walk-in team. Larry has provided exceptional care to patients as an emergency medical technician (EMT) in life flights and hospitals across the United States for over 28 years. When he was growing up, Larry dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot; this dream shifted when he was in a terrible car crash just before his senior year of high school.
“I awoke in the intensive care unit (ICU) with memories of being cut out of the car. My life changed at that moment, and I wanted to do what was done for me,” he shared.
Larry’s first exposure to the medical field came when he joined the United States Air Force and worked as an emergency medical technician at Grand Forks Air Force Base in Grand Forks, North Dakota. After he was honorably discharged in 1992, Larry moved to Roswell, New Mexico to attend Eastern New Mexico University. In 1995, he graduated with an associate’s degree in nursing. He worked as a nurse in various emergency medical services for the next 13 years. Larry went back to Valley University in Orem, Utah, and in 2010, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in administration. Later in 2021, Larry achieved a registered nursing master’s degree with a focus on adult geriatric and acute care from Walden University online, gaining the title of nurse practitioner.
Although he did not become a fighter pilot, Larry found a way to combine his desire to fly with his passion for medicine. For 12 years, he treated patients needing immediate medical attention as they were airlifted to the hospital. Prior to his move to Montana, Larry worked as a hospitalist at Santa Rosa Medical Center in Milton, Florida where he had the opportunity to help people in a meaningful way, just like the professionals helped him when he was a teenager.
When he is not scrubbed in, Larry loves traveling to unfamiliar places; he is particularly excited to hike the national parks in Montana.
Larry will see patients at the Great Falls Clinic Specialty Center at 3000 15th Ave S, this September. For more information, please call (406) 454-2171. Larry will also work occasionally as a hospitalist and an emergency room provider, so keep an eye out for him in these areas as well!
