Megan Williams, MSPH, MSW

Megan Scull Williams, MSW, MSPH (she/her), has over 20 years of experience in public health, where she has provided program and research management, evaluation, training, technical assistance, and direct service across diverse settings. The central theme of her career is a commitment to families and a drive to translate academic research into practical solutions for families and those who serve them. As the only Asheville-based member of the Collaborative for Maternal & Infant Health (CMIH) team, she focuses particularly on the Western region of North Carolina.

She is a trainer for the You Quit, Two Quit perinatal tobacco quality improvement initiative, working with North Carolina providers to integrate evidence-based tobacco screening and counseling into reproductive healthcare settings.

She is a member of the implementation research team for ACURE4Moms, a large-scale research study evaluating the impact of community-based doula support on outcomes for Black-identified moms and babies.

She is also part of the UNC Horizons EMPOWER team, providing case management and re-entry assistance for pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorder leaving North Carolina prisons.

She is a key staff member on the Incarcerated Women’s Health project, which aims to improve health outcomes for incarcerated pregnant people, including the implementation of North Carolina’s Dignity for Women Who are Incarcerated Act.

She completed her undergraduate studies in Sociology at The University of Notre Dame and holds both a Master of Public Health and a Master of Social Work from UNC Chapel Hill, where she was a Public Health Leadership Fellow.
