Susan Jayne Loeb serves as Professor at the Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing and Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine. Her research focuses on end-of-life care in correctional facilities, with significant funding from the National Institute on Aging and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for projects enhancing dementia care and geriatric services in prisons through innovative e-training programs for inmate caregivers.
Her primary research areas include End-of-life Care, Prison Health Care, Dementia Care, Geriatrics, Nursing, and Health Equity. She investigates advance care planning for incarcerated populations, health disparities in correctional settings, and ethical challenges in prison healthcare delivery, emphasizing the need for culturally competent care models.
Analysis of her 2024-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on health equity in carceral environments, incivility in nursing education, and geriatric care by internationally educated staff. Key trends include addressing systemic bias in prison healthcare, developing peer caregiver training frameworks, and examining end-of-life decision-making processes for returning citizens.
Dr. Loeb has secured eight major research grants as Principal Investigator, including multiple National Institute on Aging projects on e-training for inmate caregivers (2016-2023) and a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation initiative on medical drone delivery infrastructure in Pennsylvania (2016-2022), demonstrating sustained commitment to improving healthcare access in marginalized communities.
