ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla., Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO®) applauds the introduction of the Health Care Provider Shortage Minimization Act by Reps. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) and Neal Dunn (R-FL).
The bill seeks to ensure that underserved and rural communities can continue to access highly skilled health care professionals. Locum tenens, or temporary physicians and practitioners, play a crucial role in filling gaps in hospital staffing. They provide essential care, especially in rural and underserved communities.
The bill codifies their status as independent contractors, which will allow them to continue treating patients nationwide. This is of paramount importance as approximately 85% of hospitals, medical groups, and other health care facilities use locum tenens doctors. On an annual basis, the locum tenens industry provides an estimated one million days of physician coverage and over 20 million patient visits nationwide.
This bill will help doctors and advanced care practitioners continue to provide those desperately needed services. NALTO®) is grateful for the support of Congressman Carter and Congressman Dunn in ensuring access to physicians and other healthcare providers, especially in hard-to-access rural communities.
“NALTO appreciates Congressman Carter’s and Congressman Dunn’s support to help ensure accesses to physicians and other healthcare providers, especially in hard-to-access rural communities. This bill strengthens the ability of doctors and advanced care practitioners to provide on-the-spot care in a variety of settings, including hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, and other medical facilities in all areas of the United States. Locum Tenens providers are especially important for undeserved areas like rural communities, the Veterans Administration, and Indian Health Services. On an annual basis, the locum tenens industry provides an estimated one million days of physician coverage and over 20 million patient visits nationwide. This bill will help doctors and advanced care practitioners continue those desperately needed services,” said Matt Young, National Association of Locum Tenens (NALTO) President.

The annual gathering of a cross-section of Atlantans from widely diverse backgrounds featured John Legend, Chris Tucker and Maria Taylor at the Georgia World Congress Center
ATLANTA, Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Same House, a new community services movement, today announced that a record $8.8 million in funds were raised to support The Same House and local Atlanta nonprofit organizations at its 2023 Beloved Benefit that featured music icon John Legend, comedian and actor Chris Tucker and broadcaster, Maria Taylor, August 24, 2023, at a sold-out Georgia World Congress Center.
Monies raised at the annual “come as you are” gathering of a broad cross section of Atlantans – from corporate executives to residents of underserved communities – helps support programs of The Same House and provides support to this year’s Beneficiaries including Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta, Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs, First Step Staffing, Urban League of Greater Atlanta, Westside Future Fund, CHRIS180, Hillside and Silence the Shame.
Since its founding in 2019, this one-of-a-kind experience has raised more than $20.8 million that has supported new programs of The Same House and a wide range of Atlanta nonprofit organizations focused on addressing community priorities. The funds raised from Beloved Benefit have been used to serve more than 80,000 individuals, nearly half of whom are under the age of 24. A number of well-known musical artists have performed at past events including Usher, Maroon 5 and Bruno Mars.
“The Same House exists to build an inclusive community of passionate doers who are inspired to work together to address societal and economic challenges,” said The Same House CEO Rodney Bullard. “Beloved Benefit 2023 was a fantastic event honoring fantastic nonprofits, but beyond the benefit, we are energized by this gathering of passionate doers ready to continue this work beyond the evening.”
The Beloved Benefit is based on the idea of the Beloved Community amplified by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and born out of respect for inclusivity and collaboration of all Atlantans. The event brings together business leaders, nonprofits and community members to not only learn about each other but also build a foundation for future work together.
The 2023 Beloved Benefit presenting sponsors were Chick-fil-A, Inc., The Home Depot Foundation and Georgia Power. The lead sponsors included the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, Peach Bowl Inc., The Coca-Cola Company and The Coca-Cola Foundation, Delta Air Lines, Truist, UPS and WestRock.
Earlier this year, organizers of the Beloved Benefit announced a new organization, The Same House, which will include the annual experience as well as a number of new programs and initiatives. During the 2019 Beloved Benefit, the late Congressman John Lewis told the audience, “we all live in the same house,” inspiring the organization’s name.
The Same House has gotten off to an incredible start in its first year. The organization has made major grants to a wide range of organizations including The United Negro College Fund, The John Lewis Legacy Institute, Morris Brown College and through a personal gift from Bullard, the University of Georgia’s J. W. Fanning Institute for Leadership Development.

“We are honored to partner with NEEF to tackle asthma disparities using our proven model combining music, science, and culture. Music is a powerful medium for public health communication, and our research shows that it can help build health literacy and inspire health behavior change,” said Dr Olajide Williams, MD, MS, the Vice Dean of Community Health at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons (VP&S).
The partnership unites HHPH’s musical expertise with NEEF’s 20-year history of providing pediatric asthma training and resources to healthcare providers.
“The asthma aids created through our exciting partnership with HHPH add to our array of content, focusing on a disproportionately impacted community,” said Christy Haas-Howard, MPH, RN, Health Program Director at the National Environmental Education Foundation. “With the EMPOWER tools, providers will be able to offer culturally relevant asthma education to teens, as well as their crucial support network of friends and family, to help navigate the challenges of asthma.”
Asthma affects more than 25 million individuals in the US. It’s a prevalent chronic ailment, especially among young people, with more than 4 million children under 18 diagnosed with asthma. However, the burden of asthma isn’t evenly distributed. The condition is most pronounced among Black adults, and non-Hispanic Black children are more than twice as likely to have asthma as their non-Hispanic white counterparts.
“As young people move into their teen and young adult years, with greater independence and responsibility, taking ownership of their asthma management is essential for their health and wellbeing,” said Lori Rose Benson, Hip Hop Public Health’s Executive Director and CEO. “In partnership with NEEF and with input from pediatric asthma experts, we collaborated with dynamic creatives to craft uplifting and culturally relevant tracks that celebrate and affirm the power of young people.”
The EMPOWER songs, videos, and accompanying printable educational assets are accessible for free through Hip Hop Public Health’s Learning Studio. The first track and video, EMPOWER Roll Call, along with a downloadable poster for educational and healthcare settings, are available now.
The remaining seven tracks and videos will be released later this fall. Medical providers, community health workers, educators, and others who work with young people can use the EMPOWER resources to increase awareness about the importance of asthma management and to spread an inspiring message of resilience and empowerment when living with asthma.
