We Are All America: Advocates in Border States Ready to Welcome Refugees & Asylum Seekers
Christy Bishop, Assistant Director of Advocacy, was quoted in a press release by We Are All America. “Our community in Arizona is welcoming to refugees and asylum seekers; it has been for many years. We are preparing to provide humanitarian aid once Title 42 is lifted and look forward to restoring the human right to seek asylum.”
The U.S. Healthcare Workforce Shortage Is Growing — But So Is The Solution
Virginia is short 770 primary care physicians today — and that number will near 1,000 by 2035. The strain is real: longer wait times, physician burnout, and limited care, especially in rural and underserved communities.
There’s a solution hiding in plain sight: International Medical Graduates (IMGs).
IMGs are highly trained professionals with deep clinical experience and a commitment to primary care. Studies show they perform as well as or better than U.S.-trained doctors in managing chronic conditions and improving patient outcomes — especially for diverse and immigrant populations.
