BIOGRAPHY
Amy Marasco, Doctor of Health Science in Population Health, is an access-driven healthcare professional and educator focused on improving healthcare equity. Her work emphasizes patient-centered, evidence-based approaches to care for vulnerable and underserved populations. She applies policy and systems-level strategies to address barriers to safe, effective care within complex regulatory environments.
Dr. Marasco also holds a Master of Science in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics, which informs her work in cannabis policy. She serves as the National Field and Volunteer Coordinator for Americans for Safe Access (ASA), a national organization that advocates for policies promoting safe and legal access to medical cannabis for therapeutic use and research.
Her academic work focuses on how variation in state-level policies impacts patient access and health equity outcomes, including research on cannabis regulation and its implications for healthcare delivery and disparities in care.
