LEXINGTON, Ky. — Rachel Hogg-Graham, an associate professor and chair of health management and policy in the University of Kentucky College of Public Health, has been honored as a 2026-27 University Research Professor. The recognition comes as part of the university’s annual program that celebrates faculty excellence across disciplines.
Hogg-Graham focuses her research on cross-sector collaboration and how healthcare systems, public health agencies and community organizations can work together to improve population health outcomes. Her work emphasizes making it easier for individuals to access the care and social resources they need by strengthening partnerships among institutions.
“I’m beyond honored and deeply humbled to be named a University Research Professor,” Hogg-Graham said. “This recognition is a powerful validation of that mission, and it underscores the university’s profound commitment to supporting research that translates complex, systems-level science into real-world practice.”
Hogg-Graham’s research has appeared in leading journals including Health Affairs and the American Journal of Public Health. She has served as principal investigator and co-investigator on numerous high-impact research initiatives. Her mentorship contributions have earned the College of Public Health Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award and multiple nominations for the UK Excellent Research Mentor Award.
Before joining the UK faculty in 2015, Hogg-Graham completed a postdoctoral fellowship in network science at the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Affairs. She earned her Doctor of Public Health in health services management and a master’s degree in history from UK. Her historical background, particularly in the history of medicine and health in the United States, shaped her interest in how public policy can reshape community systems over time.
The University Research Professors program, established by the Board of Trustees in 1976, recognizes excellence in work that addresses scientific, social, cultural and economic challenges in Kentucky and beyond. Each University Research Professor receives a one-year award of $10,000. Hogg-Graham plans to use her award to support a graduate student fellowship that integrates students into her active research projects, expanding the university’s capacity to study how major public health policy shifts affect local health systems and communities across the state.
