“While living and working in the United States, these students will build meaningful connections, share their perspectives, and return home with a deeper understanding of American society,” said Rick A. Ruth.
“Rick Ruth dedicated his career to advancing peace through cultural exchange, and we are proud to see that legacy come to life through these remarkable students,” said James P. Pellow, Ed.D., President and CEO of CIEE. “The relationships they build with their American coworkers and other members of their host community will help strengthen mutual respect and understanding across cultures.”
Each year, the BridgeUSA Summer Work Travel program brings approximately 100,000 international college students from more than 140 countries to the United States. Participants contribute to local economies, support American businesses, and gain firsthand experience with American culture and values, which they share with their communities at home.

The article explains how Tucson homeowners can prepare for fire season by reviewing coverage options and rebuilding costs.
TUCSON, Ariz., May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — How can Tucson homeowners prepare their insurance coverage for wildfire risk? That question is answered in a HelloNation article featuring insights from Merrie Connon, Insurance Expert of Tucson, Arizona.
The article explains that wildfire risk remains a serious concern in Southern Arizona, especially for homeowners living near desert landscapes, foothills, and mountain areas. Dry conditions and extreme heat increase the likelihood of fires during certain times of the year. For Tucson homeowners, understanding how wildfire insurance fits into a broader home insurance policy is essential for protecting property and finances.
According to the article, standard home insurance policies often include coverage for fire damage to the structure of a home. However, limits and specific terms can vary. Tucson homeowners are encouraged to carefully review their coverage options to understand how wildfire insurance addresses damage to the home itself, as well as to personal belongings and additional living expenses.
Rebuilding costs are a key consideration highlighted in the article. The amount listed on a policy may not always reflect current construction expenses or the rising cost of materials. If coverage limits are too low, homeowners could face unexpected out-of-pocket costs after a wildfire. Reviewing and adjusting coverage to align with accurate rebuilding costs can help reduce financial strain during recovery.
The article also emphasizes protection for personal belongings. Furniture, clothing, electronics, and other items inside the home may be covered under wildfire insurance, but limits differ by policy. Tucson homeowners are advised to create and maintain an updated inventory of personal belongings to ensure that coverage reflects replacement values. This preparation can make the claims process smoother if fire damage occurs.
Outdoor structures such as sheds and fences may also be included in certain home insurance policies. Understanding what is covered before fire season begins allows homeowners to identify any gaps in protection. Southern Arizona residents living in higher-risk areas may need to explore additional endorsements or specialized coverage options.
Temporary living expenses are another important part of wildfire insurance protection. If a home becomes uninhabitable due to fire damage, some policies provide funds for lodging, meals, and essential daily costs. The article notes that planning for these expenses in advance can help Tucson homeowners avoid added stress while repairs are underway.
Deductibles and exclusions should also be reviewed carefully. Homes located in fire-prone areas may carry higher deductibles or specific conditions related to wildfire risk. The article suggests that comparing coverage options with a licensed insurance professional can help homeowners balance affordability with comprehensive protection.
Preparation plays a central role in managing wildfire risk. Keeping insurance documents current, reviewing coverage annually, and updating policy limits before fire season are practical steps outlined in the article. Tucson homeowners who take these measures are better positioned to recover quickly and maintain financial stability after a wildfire event.
The HelloNation article concludes that wildfire insurance is an important part of a comprehensive home insurance strategy in Southern Arizona. By understanding coverage options, evaluating rebuilding costs, and planning ahead for fire season, Tucson homeowners can protect their homes, personal belongings, and long-term financial security.

Governance At a Glance
- Nominate for the Cascale Board of Directors (click here)
- Apply for the Membership & Stakeholder Advisory Council (click here)
- Why? Shape the future of Cascale and seize one of two distinct opportunities to steward involvement at the highest level of organizational governance.
Cascale has opened two key opportunities for members to help shape the organization’s future: Board of Directors nominations and Membership & Stakeholder Advisory Council (MAC) applications. Together, these openings mark the next phase of Cascale’s governance evolution and reflect the organization’s commitment to stronger, more structured pathways for member and industry expertise to inform leadership, strategy, and collective action.
As a global multi-stakeholder nonprofit, Cascale brings together diverse voices from across the consumer goods value chain to advance shared action on climate and decent work. Strengthening governance is an important part of that work. By inviting members to step forward for Board service and MAC participation, Cascale is reinforcing the role of inclusive leadership, practical expertise, and collaborative decision-making in helping the organization deepen impact further and faster, together.
Board of Directors nominations now open
Cascale is now accepting nominations for its 2026 Board of Directors election from May 11 through May 31, 2026. The Board plays a critical role in guiding Cascale’s strategic direction, overseeing governance, and helping ensure the organization remains strong, representative, and effective. In line with Cascale’s current structure, Voting Members continue to elect Board leadership across caucus groups, ensuring balanced representation across the organization.
Senior leaders with strong strategic, governance, and fiduciary experience are encouraged to consider nomination. Candidates should also be committed to Cascale’s mission and strategic pillars: Combat Climate Change and Support Decent Work for All.
MAC applications now open
At the same time, Cascale is opening applications for the Membership & Stakeholder Advisory Council (MAC) from May 11 through June 4, 2026. The MAC is one of two new advisory councils being established as part of Cascale’s broader governance evolution. Earlier this year, Cascale announced that the MAC would be phased in alongside the Technical Advisory Council (TAC), with the MAC focused on membership engagement, public affairs, and our programs to scale collective action.
The MAC is intended to create a more structured forum for member and stakeholder input, helping ensure Cascale’s work continues to benefit from a wide breadth of experience, perspectives, and practical insights from across the industry. Together with the Board, TAC, and time-bound task forces, the MAC is part of a phased approach to strengthening how recommendations, expertise, and member priorities help inform Cascale’s leadership and long-term direction.
Get involved in Cascale’s next chapter
These two opportunities are distinct, but they are closely connected. Board service offers members the chance to help steward Cascale at the highest level of organizational governance, while the MAC will provide a dedicated pathway for strategic member and stakeholder input on membership engagement, public affairs, and our programs to scale collective action. Together, they reflect Cascale’s belief that stronger governance depends on both accountable leadership and meaningful participation.
Members interested in applying or nominating candidates are encouraged to review the requirements and timelines carefully and submit their materials within the application windows. Cascale will continue sharing governance updates, resources, and next steps through Cascale Connect and its governance communications in the months ahead.

May 11, 2026 /3BL/ – Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today released data from the Addressing undertreatment and heaLth Equity in aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation using an integrated ehR plaTform (ALERT) Trial, designed to address health disparities and undertreatment in structural heart care. Results show electronic clinician notifications (ECNs) significantly improve the timely evaluation and treatment of aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral regurgitation (MR), including treatment with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Findings from the study, sponsored by Tempus, were presented at the American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Sessions in New Orleans and simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC).
“As clinicians, our priority is to ensure that patients with significant heart valve disease receive timely treatment. Untreated symptomatic severe aortic stenosis carries a high risk of mortality within two years, yet we continue to see significant undertreatment particularly among patients from racial and ethnic minority groups and those with certain hemodynamic profiles. This compromises our ability to scale life-saving valve interventions across health systems,” said Wayne Batchelor, M.D., M.H.S., M.B.A., President of the Medicine Service Line at the Inova Health System and Steering Committee Chair of the ALERT study. “These findings highlight the value of real-time clinical alerts to accelerate diagnosis and specialist referral, helping ensure that more patients—regardless of race, ethnicity, geography, hemodynamics, or other factors—have access to guideline-directed, life-saving care.”
Using 765 clinicians ordering 2,016 echocardiograms across 5 U.S. health systems encompassing 35 hospitals, the study met its primary endpoint, defined as time to surgical or transcatheter valve intervention followed by time to multidisciplinary heart team (MHT) clinic visit within 90 days after the index echocardiogram. The findings revealed that ECNs were 27% more effective at notifying clinicians about patient cardiovascular status than usual care (win ratio, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.05-1.54; P = .007).
Key findings at 90 days include:
- 40% relative increase in valve intervention (13.4% vs. 9.6%; P=0.005)
- 27% increase in MHT evaluations (22.7% vs. 17.9%; P=0.005)
Data suggest white patients represent the majority (90%) of all TAVR procedures – a minimally invasive solution for AS and MR. Conversely, patients who are Black, Hispanic, Asian, or part of other racial groups are not being treated with TAVR at the same rates as
white patients.1 Additionally, women with aortic stenosis continue to experience meaningful disparities in care, as they are less likely to be referred for timely evaluation and valve intervention compared to men, making improved access to minimally invasive options like TAVR especially critical. Existing evidence suggests that this minimally invasive option could result in less time in the hospital and a quicker recovery compared to open heart surgery.
“The ALERT trial reflects how we are building the future of structural heart care — one that is more connected, data‑driven, and focused on reaching patients earlier in their disease journey,” said Jorie Soskin, vice president of the Structural Heart business at Medtronic. “By helping clinicians identify patients sooner and connect them to care, technologies like AI‑enabled alerts have the potential to ensure more people can benefit from lifesaving therapies like TAVR, regardless of race, geography, or background. This work underscores our commitment to advancing structural heart care and the future of TAVR.”
The study utilized Tempus Next, an AI-enabled care pathway platform that empowers providers to deliver the next step in a patient’s care journey. The software automatically identifies significant AS or MR patients who may meet guideline-indicated therapy criteria, but do not have a treatment plan in place. The study evaluated the impact of electronic health record notifications generated by Tempus Next.
Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis is a common, yet severe form of heart valve disease that impacts approximately 250,000 people annually in the United States and remains undertreated according to AHA/ACC Guidelines criteria. Patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis may suffer from chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness – and if left untreated, it can lead to heart failure. Mitral regurgitation (MR), another prevalent cardiac valvular condition, presents a similar set of challenges in regard to underdiagnosis and undertreatment.
This study is funded by Tempus AI, Inc. (Chicago, IL) and Medtronic, Plc (Minneapolis, MN).
