Mark R. Meiners, Ph.D., is Professor in the Department of Health Administration and Policy. He served as Director of the Center for Health Policy, Research and Ethics, at George Mason University from 2004 to 2007. Prior to joining GMU in October 2004 he was Associate Professor/Director of the University of Maryland Center on Aging for 17 years. He is also the National Program Director of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Medicare/Medicaid Integration Program, an initiative designed to help states develop new systems of care that better coordinate acute and long-term care. In addition he has led the Partnership for Long-Term Care, an innovative state-based long-term care insurance program, since its beginning in 1987.
Dr. Meiners specializes in the areas of aging and health with emphasis on financing and reimbursement issues. Meiners is nationally recognized as one of the leading experts on financing and program development in long-term care. His path-breaking research on long-term care insurance has been a major catalyst to the current interest in this topic and his work on Medicare/Medicaid integration has helped advance chronic care improvement strategies for all aged and disabled populations.
