Marsha Regenstein, PhD, is a professor of health policy and management in the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. She is an experienced researcher, having led dozens of studies using surveys, case studies, in-depth qualitative interviews, focus groups, and cost analyses. Her work focuses on community health centers and their critical role in primary care for low-income, rural and under-resourced communities; hospitals and their use of quality improvement to advance equity; community-based multisector partnerships; community-based primary care training; access to care for people with life-long chronic conditions; public health responses to COVID-19; and improving the quality and availability of language services, especially in safety net settings. One of her longstanding interests is in language services delivery. Regenstein was principal investigator for Speaking Together, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded multi-site project designed to improve the quality and availability of language services. She also led research and evaluation efforts for the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership. Her work has been funded by federal and state agencies and private foundations. She is the author of more than 100 publications including policy briefs, peer-reviewed journal articles, and technical reports.

Dr. Regenstein serves as Director of the GWSPH Doctor of Public Health program and has taught in the DrPH program for nearly 20 years. She also teaches in the MPH Health Policy program. Previously, she was vice president of research for the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems (now America’s Essential Hospitals) and vice president of the Economic and Social Research Institute. She has a PhD in health policy from George Washington University, a Master of City Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from Brandeis University.
