Jessica Escareno
Dr. Escareno completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Texas A&M University. She completed her PhD at the University of Memphis School of Public Health in Health Systems Policy and Management using a systems approach to investigating how market and organization level factors affect quality of care regarding mammography follow-up rates. Her passion for research began in her hometown of Eagle Pass Tx, where she witnessed the desperation of community members attempting to access healthcare too late and underinsured. Her research passion is bridging the gap of healthcare resources with the community. Her current research endeavors range from community engagement in Northeast Tx involving COVID-19 outreach and disparities within low- income communities to public health social media outreach and the dynamic between adults and their siblings with Autism.
