Jacqueline M. Kent-Marvick, PhD, BSN, RN is an Advanced Nurse Fellow in Women’s Health at the Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion (CHERP) at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center and a National Clinician Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. She is interested in the “pinch points” in women’s healthcare, including the perinatal period and perimenopause. Jacqueline is particularly interested in addressing health equity and disparity issues within her research. In her VA research, she supports the continuity of healthcare for childbearing Veterans who rely on VA health coverage for obstetrical care. She is also collaborating with key VA community members to tailor a gestational diabetes risk-communication infographic for use within the VA healthcare system. Her mixed-methods doctoral study used social-network analysis and in-depth interviews to investigate the impact of the social environment on postpartum health behaviors and weight among a sample of racially and ethnically diverse postpartum people. She obtained her PhD in Nursing from the University of Utah College of Nursing and her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Southern Utah University.
