Colleen Grogan

Colleen M. Grogan is a Professor in the School of Social Service Administration, Chair of the Graduate Program in Health Administration and Policy, and Co-Chair of the Center for Health Administration Studies.

Professor Grogan is currently working on two book projects. The first is an empirical study of the effort to develop a participatory advisory board to discuss the design and implementation of health care reform for poor families in the state of Connecticut. The second book is a political history of the Medicaid program – our largest health care program in the U.S. – which attempts to explain changes in legislation and political discourse over time, examines policy feedbacks within the program, and assesses views about Medicaid's potential to expand coverage to other groups in the population.
