Professional Experience
During a career that began in the early 1970s, Gregg has worked in government and politics, provided management consulting services to healthcare and nonprofit organizations, served as director/CEO of a large health and wellness center, led Suffolk’s graduate program in philanthropy and media that trained socially conscious documentary film-makers, and taught graduate school in public management. Since 2007, he has taught healthcare administration and directed Suffolk’s healthcare administration programs.
Gregg has been a leader in the "Idle-Free" movement that encourages drivers to stop unnecessary motor vehicle engine idling in order to protect our health and environment. He served as chairman of the "Idle-Free" Massachusetts Campaign of the American Lung Association. His efforts to reduce motor vehicle air pollution resulted in a Massachusetts law – An Act to Improve School Campus Air Quality – that limits engine idling on every school property in the Commonwealth. The law was signed by Governor Deval Patrick on December 16, 2008, and ensures cleaner, safer air for the 1,000,000 young people who attend school and everyone else who works at and visits the schools. In March of 2009, Gregg was honored with the Healthy Air Award from the American Lung Association.
In 2006, 2008, and 2013, Gregg received the John Brennan Award for Outstanding Instruction to Graduate Students from the Graduate Student Association of Suffolk University.
Gregg is a Faculty Associate in the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and a member of the Program Committee of ACHE of Massachusetts, the Society for Healthcare Strategy and Market Development (SHSMD) of the American Hospital Association, and the New England Society for Healthcare Strategy.
