Larry & Patty Benz Professor, Professor of Social Work
Bowling Green State University
Dr. Stephanie Wladkowski is the Larry & Patty Benz Professor and Professor of Social Work at Bowling Green State University. Dr. Wladkowski has several years of clinical practice experience as an independent licensed social worker in hospice and palliative care, which directly informs her research and teaching in ethics, health, aging, interprofessional education, and end-of-life care. Dr. Wladkowski’s main research interest is focused on live discharge from hospice, or when individuals stop receiving hospice care due to no longer meeting the eligibility requirements. She continues to advance knowledge in this under-researched area through exploring the impact of live discharge on individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their caregivers, with careful attention to policy implications and practice opportunities. In 2019, Dr. Wladkowski received the Emerging Leader in Hospice and Palliative Care award from the Social Work Hospice & Palliative Care Network, and was a 2020 recipient of the Cambia Health Foundation’s Sojourns Scholar Leadership Program.
