Scott Lorch is an attending neonatologist, Professor of Pediatrics and Associate Chief of the Division of Neonatology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He holds the Harriet and Ronald Lassin Endowed Chair in Pediatric Neonatology.
Dr. Lorch’s research involves understanding the root causes for variations in health outcomes and healthcare utilization experienced by high-risk children, particularly those born prematurely. He is particularly interested in the role of local and state policies on the observed variation in outcomes of premature infants, such as the impact of certificate of need programs on such outcomes.
