Gloria J. Bazzoli, Ph.D. is Professor of Health Administration with the Department of Health Administration, Virginia Commonwealth University.  She conducts economic research on US hospital operations and the functioning of hospital markets.  Dr. Bazzoli has been a lead investigator in several research projects, including studies of financial pressures affecting the hospital safety net and the effects of hospital mergers and closures on markets.  She is also examining issues of changing US hospital capacity and its implications for consumers and health markets through her work with the Center for Studying Health System Change.  Most recently, she was the principal investigator for a multi-year grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality in which her research team examined organizational and financial influences on multi-dimensional aspects of hospital quality of care.  She has published widely in numerous journals including Journal of Health Economics, the Journal of the American Medical Association, Health Services Research, Health Affairs, Journal of Health Politics, Policy, and Law, and Medical Care.  Dr. Bazzoli received her M.S. and Ph.D. in economics from Cornell University and her B.A. in economics from the University of Illinois-Champaign/Urbana.
