    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 18th U.S. SURGEON GENERAL (2009-2013) REGINA BENJAMIN NAMED ENDOWED CHAIR AT XAVIER UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA Xavier to be Positioned as International Center for Public Health NEW ORLEANS (September 13, 2013) – The 18th Surgeon General of the United States (2009-2013) Regina Benjamin, MD, MBA was announced as the first NOLA.com/Times Picayune Endowed Chair in Public Health Sciences at Xavier University of Louisiana during a press conference this morning. “I am honored to be named the Endowed Chair in Public Health at Xavier University of Louisiana,” said Benjamin. “I look forward to positioning Xavier as an international center for public health with a strong focus on the community.” Benjamin is a long-time champion of the power of prevention. As Surgeon General, she lead the U.S. Public Health Service and chaired President Obama’s National Prevention Council, which released the first-ever National Prevention Strategy– a road map for a healthy and fit nation. She oversaw its implementation throughout the federal government. “In July, I stepped away from my position but not from my mission,” Benjamin stated. “This endowed chair at Xavier provides an ideal platform from which I can broaden my mission of prevention and wellness.” An alumna of the only Historically Black Catholic University in the nation, Benjamin will have a major role in developing future public health professionals. Former Surgeons General often go to medical schools or large academic health centers, rarely, if ever, to a liberal arts college. Benjamin wants to bring public health to the community and to have students engage early in their careers.

  • Closing the Health Care Workforce Gap Reforming Federal Health Care Workforce Policies to Meet the Needs of the 21St Century
    AP Photo/Mike Derer Closing the Health Care Workforce Gap Reforming Federal Health Care Workforce Policies to Meet the Needs of the 21st Century Daniel J. Derksen and Ellen-Marie Whelan December 2009 www.americanprogress.org Closing the Health Care Workforce Gap Reforming Federal Health Care Workforce Policies to Meet the Needs of the 21st Century Daniel J. Derksen and Ellen-Marie Whelan December 2009 Introduction and summary America’s five million health care professionals directly influence the cost and quality of health care through their diagnoses, orders, prescriptions, and treatments.1 These primary care and specialist physicians, dentists, nurses, and other medical and dental assistants labor every day to take care of their patients, but experts say there are too few of them today, and by 2020 there will be a shortage of up to 200,000 physicians and 1 million nurses.2 Rural Americans and those living in other underserved areas across the country are especially vulnerable to these current and growing health workforce shortages. As our nation grapples with reforming the U.S. health care system to cover the uninsured, improve the quality of health care, and cut overall costs in the long term, we must consider provisions to assure an adequate health care workforce. Primary care clinicians—those providing the most basic, frontline health services—continue to decrease in numbers and there are many pockets around the country without enough health care providers overall. Researchers estimate that policies to expand coverage to all Americans would increase demand for physician services by 25 percent.3 Our nation already suffers from a long- standing shortage of nurses—the U.S.
