Dimensions of Dental Hygiene proudly announces that Hannah L. Maxey, PhD, MPH, RDH, has joined the journal’s Editorial Advisory Board. She is an assistant professor and director of Health Workforce Studies at Indiana University (IU) School of Medicine in Indianapolis. “I am delighted to join the Dimensions of Dental Hygiene Editorial Advisory Board,” Maxey stated. “I look forward to partnering with the rest of the board to ensure that dental hygienists and other readers are informed with the latest information that impacts their profession.” Maxey completed her doctoral degree in health policy and management at IU in 2015. Her dissertation examined the effects of state regulation of the dental hygiene workforce on dental service delivery, access to care, and oral health status of patients at federally qualified health centers. Throughout her career, Maxey has been actively engaged in research. She is the principal investigator for a number of ongoing research projects focused on the integration of oral health with primary care, strengthening the health system through primary care-based chronic disease management, Indiana primary care needs assessment and health workforce studies, and the status of the state’s health education centers. She has published a number of papers and has presented her work at national meetings.
