In 2018 she relocated to continue her efforts at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va.

Throughout her tenure as a Critical Care Anesthesiologist Dr. Hilton’s passions have centered on exploring the issue of health disparities, particularly as it pertains to race, and bridging the gap between physicians and the communities they serve.

Dr. Hilton’s efforts quickly landed her on the national scene as she became repeatedly invited to participate as a medical commentator on platforms such as MSNBC, CNN, and CBS, speaking on matters pertaining to health justice, impacts of necropolitics, and influence of the social determinants of health on both acute and long term outcomes. Her efforts were summarized in the literary works of the Pulitzer Prize Winner, Lawrence Wright, in the December 2020 edition of The New Yorker,  and his published book of, The Plague Year: America in the Time of COVID.
