“I am thrilled for this opportunity to work with more senior colleagues, as well as provide service to the academic community. Furthermore, examining topics where I have expertise within a different context, in this case anesthesiology, offers me a truly enriching experience,” Jennings said.

Her research interests include the integration of public health and health care through collaborative relationships, population health management in hospital settings, and topics related to the broad theme of public health services and systems research. Jennings’ most recent research focuses on the predictors and performance outcomes of hospital community orientation, and research surrounding the elimination of disparities in health outcomes.
