New state laws taking effect Jan. 1

Minimum wage hike, pets in public housing among new changes

BY PETER HANCOCK Capitol News Illinois phancock@capitolnewsillinois.com

SPRINGFIELD – Minimum wage workers in Illinois will see a boost in their hourly pay to $12 per hour starting Jan. 1, while tenants in affordable housing units will be allowed to keep pets.

Those are just some of the more than 300 new laws that take effect in the new year.

The minimum wage increase is actually the result of a 2019 law that phases in a state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. This year, it will increase by one dollar to $12 an hour.

The law allowing public housing

tenants to keep pets is the result of Senate Bill 154, by Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, and Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego. It provides that tenants of multifamily housing units that are acquired, built or renovated with money from the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund may keep up to two cats or one dog weighing less than 50 pounds.

Cook County Assessor’s Office Wins National Awards for Transparency and Fairness

The International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) gave the Assessor’s Office its Distinguished Research and Development Award and The Center for Digital Govern ment presented the office with its County Government Experi ence Award.

It applies to residents of housing units that are designated as affordable housing for low- and very-lowincome families. The bill passed both chambers in its final form on May 30 and Gov. JB Pritzker signed it into law Aug. 6.

“After taking office in 2018, we created a new department with highly qualified data scientists,” said Assessor Fritz Kaegi. “Our new data team developed a new residential valua tion model with the goal of restoring fairness and rebuilding public trust. These awards are a testament to those successful efforts.”

Other new laws include:

Vehicle taxes: SB58 raises the private vehicle tax, which is a sales tax paid on the purchase of vehicles, by $75 for each model year where the purchase price is less than $15,000 and by $100 for vehicles priced above that amount. However, the registration fee for trailers weighing less than 3,000 pounds will drop to $36 instead of $118.

“Our data team believes that the best way for us to be ac countable to the public is to make our work as fair and trans parent as possible,” said Samantha Simpson, the Chief Data Officer for the Assessor’s Office. “To have two nationally rec ognized authorities in assessments and technology recognize our achievements means we are on the right track.”

The Assessor’s Office uses real estate data and property characteristics to power its valuation model which assesses residential properties through a mass appraisal system. De spite popular belief, the Assessor’s Office does not individu ally assess each residential property in Cook County. Instead, it relies on tens of thousands of data points to ensure its mod el creates an accurate measure of a property’s value.

Since 2019, the modeling code and data used by Asses sor Kaegi’s office has been publicly available online through GitLab, an open-source online platform for software develop ment, and the Cook County Open Data Portal. Publishing the code on the Data Portal is part of the Assessor’s Office ongo ing partnership with the Cook County Bureau of Technology and the fulfillment of a promise to create the most transparent assessment agency in the country.

Under previous administrations, the Assessor’s Office’s data was kept confidential, released only by a Freedom of Information Act request. This new system for publishing and updating the code allows journalists, academics, and the pub lic to monitor performance, and even suggest changes that can improve accuracy, creating an open dialogue with the civic technology community.

The data team continues to iterate on the model every year. To learn more about the valuation model and recent improvements, watch a presentation given by Daniel Snow, Director of Data Science at a recent Chi Hack Night event.

The IAAO is an international agency that sets the indus try standard in the field of property assessment. The Center for Digital Government is a national research and advisory institute focused on technology policy and best practices in government.

PVAMU launches Bachelor of Arts in African American Studies

Morgan State University students win Zillow’s HBCU Hackathon

SEATTLE, PRNewswire -- Zillow’s second HBCU Housing Hackathon, which drew more than 200 students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), awarded top prizes to teams that developed innovations to help renters and first-time buyers find their dream homes.

The top three finishers in the hackathon, in collaboration with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) and Amplify 4 Good, won over the judges with projects that offer impactful tech solutions that align with Zillow’s mission to help con sumers overcome obstacles in their journey to find a home.

ZillowBears, a team of four Morgan State Universi ty students, won first place and $20,000 for its “Z-Save” application, which estimates monthly mortgage costs and lets users deposit that amount into a virtual wallet that tracks their payment trends. The app also shows lenders data points to help determine whether potential homeowners qualify for a mortgage and offer them a way to prove creditworthiness out side the traditional credit scoring system. Zillow® also will donate $25,000 to Morgan State’s computer science program as part of the first-place prize.

The HBCU Hackathon brought together 65 teams. Six teams advanced to the final round and had five minutes to present their ideas virtually, using live demonstrations and presentation decks, to a panel of judges made up of Zillow and tech industry leaders.

Joining Dawurang on the first-place team were Olu wadara Dina, Saad Nadeem and Godsheritage Adeoye. Their winning “Z-Save” application was designed to address disproportionate mortgage denial rates for Black and Latinx

borrowers due to low credit scores by providing an alterna tive way for lenders to assess financial credibility. Users can build a positive payment history and receive a “Z-score,” which can be used as an indicator of creditworthiness.

The other hackathon prize winners were teams Straw Hat Crew of Fisk University and First Move of Howard Univer sity.

Team Straw Hat Crew won second place and $12,000 for its “Hey Roomie” concept, a Zillow rental hub integra tion that uses machine learning to pair renters with potential compatible roommates or cosigners based on housing and lifestyle preferences.

Team First Move won third place and a $6,000 prize for “VibeZ”, an application geared toward millennial and Gen Z home shoppers that lets users search for homes based on community preferences, such as access to nightlife, greenspa ces, the presence of an art scene and more.

All students from the top three teams also will receive new laptops and textbook gift cards, and all eligible hack athon participants interested in a role at Zillow will have an opportunity to interview for an internship.

The hackathon’s final pitch round was judged by Zillow and tech industry leaders that included Eric Bailey, vice pres ident of Experience Design at Zillow; Aldona Clottey, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility at Zillow; April Daley, software engineer at Etsy; Jonathan Rabb, founder and CEO of Watch The Yard; and Chad Womack, Ph.D., vice president of National STEM Programs and Tech Initiatives at UNCF.

For nearly 150 years, Prairie View A&M University has produced top leaders in the arts and sciences, education, agriculture, engineering and nursing. Now, thanks to a $1 million initiative, Enhancing the Humanities at PVAMU, students have the option to major or minor in African Ameri can studies.

“A part of the HBCU experience for many students is a journey to self-identifi cation, Blackness, and trying to understand the Black experience better,” said Director and Associate Professor of AAS Jeanelle Hope, Ph.D. “It [African American Studies] provides students with the language to understand the world around them and an opportunity to engage key theories, concepts and methods that seek to make sense of the Black experience and amplify our narratives.”

Funded in part by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, an anonymous contribution, and a matching grant, the new Bachelor of Arts in AAS Program will prepare the emerging generation of leaders to communicate effectively, think critically, research and examine any field of work through a com prehensive cul tural lens. The long-awaited program is a vision of President Ruth J. Simmons. She made it a priority to

establish an AAS program at PVAMU.

African American Studies is a rela tively new major for college campuses. According to the Chicago Tribune, the nation’s first Black studies department was established in 1968 at San Francisco State University, born out of faculty and student activism. Only a handful of HBCUs have AAS programs, including Morehouse and Spelman Colleges and Howard, Florida A&M, Morgan State, and Claflin Universi ties, to name a few.

Maykana is the heart of the property and inclusive of all travelers. “May” (from the Mayan culture) stands for the proper ties’ desire to invite guests to experience local history and culture through the five elements of nature representative at the beach club including air, water, fire, earth and aether. “Kana” (basket in Mayan language) is the basket that ties everything together.

Gibbs Gardens expands Butterfly Garden to help save endangered monarchs

BALL GROUND, Ga., PRNewswire -- The Inter national Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)—the world’s most comprehensive inventory of biological species’ global status—added the migratory monarch but terfly to its endangered list on July 21. Migratory monarch population has shrunk by between 22% and 72% over the past decade, according to IUNC, with a 26% decline just in 2021.

Jim Gibbs, owner/developer of Gibbs Gardens—con cerned about the increased threat of extinction for these delicate creatures—decided to do something more to help. Gibbs just expanded his 2021 butterfly garden from three to 15 acres—giving migratory monarchs five times more habitat within Gibbs Gardens.

Habitat destruction is one of the biggest dangers facing migratory monarchs. Gibbs Gardens vast size—376 acres—and its totally natural environment create a uniquely protected habitat for butterflies. The Butterfly Garden was designed with shrubs as well as small and large trees to pro vide safe places for butterflies to explore and rest at night.

Winter in Mexico

Each year the monarchs migrate approximately 2,485 miles from their summer breeding grounds in Canada and New England, traveling south along the east coast then through north Georgia as the migration path veers west toward Texas and Mexico.

Every day these monarch butterflies need to find a safe place with the right food to fuel their migration. Flying up to two miles above the earth at about five miles an hour, Monarchs travel from 25 to 100 miles a day—and they don’t pack a lunch. Monarchs are “special ist” eaters—they only eat certain plants—and they need to be able to find them from 11,000 feet up.

“Color attracts the monarch butterflies, luring them down lower to find food sources,” says Jim Gibbs. “This June, to be ready for the mon archs, we planted 15 acres of colorful Cosmos in great wide swaths that wind through the gardens.” The effect—similar to highway drivers noticing a colorful billboard—catches the monarchs’ attention and draws them down to the garden. The acres of blooming flowers in bright, vivid colors create a vibrant welcome mat to greet the monarchs. The Butterfly Garden has already attracted Eastern Black Swallowtail and Yellow Swallowtail butterflies. Monarch butterflies begin arriving in September through October as eastern and northern migratory monarchs travel toward their wintering destination. They arrive in southwestern Mexico by November.

Around April of next year, the migratory monarchs will reverse the process and head north to breed. Jim Gibbs will be ready for them. On November 15, he will start from scratch clearing out the fall flowers and begin planting poppies, larkspur, milkweed and other monarch delicacies for their return trip in April 2023.

Recognized as one of the Thirteen Best Botanical Gardens in America and named a top garden in Georgia by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Gibbs Gardens always has something new in bloom. The five feature gardens and 21 seasonal collections gardens offer unique and continuous delights for garden lovers of all interests. To learn more about Gibbs Gardens go to gibbsgardens.com. For more information about monarch butterflies go to monarchjoint venture.org.

Teachers and students will have access to CPL’s online services and databases both in class and outside of school, for more fluid and expansive learning experiences. Students with an 81 Club card will be able to check out five physical items at a time, such as books, DVDs and magazines. Overdrive Public Library CONNECT, a proven, national initiative, will allow students to access CPL’s age-appropriate eBooks and eAudiobooks, in addition to their school’s digital collection, through the program. This physical and digital access for both teachers and students allows for classroom instruction to be streamlined.

“The 81 Club provides access to library materials and resources anywhere a student learns,” said Chicago Public Library Commissioner Chris Brown. “This initiative removes barriers for all Chicago students to obtain a library account,

enabling us to reach the students who most need our services.”

The 81 Club is a multi-tiered approach that will enable CPL and CPS to achieve the goal of removing barriers to reach all students. Students will learn how to connect to the extended CPL catalog in school, through their CPS Sora app. In the classroom, teacher accounts will provide easier access to CPL digital resources, giving the ability to teach directly from CPL databases. Library staff can recommend specific resources for teachers to access in their classrooms. The 81 Club pro vides meaningful opportunities for collaboration between educators, school administrators and librarians to enrich the learning experiences of CPS students.

With this initiative, the card registration process is easy - students can register without identification or parent signature. It allows greater autonomy for students to check out materials, especially those who were previously unable to access library resources because of issues with a regular library card or lack of parental involve ment. Students with an 81 Club card are also able to utilize regular CPL cards for expanded access to materials and special items.

“We’re grateful and excited to launch this new partnership with Chicago Public Library,” said CPS CEO Pedro Martinez. “This partnership expands our students’ access to the wealth of resources, from digital to print materials, offered through CPL’s 81 amazing library branches which inspire and support literacy and lifelong learning opportunities.”

Students will be able to register for the account this fall. Chicago Public Library has created and distributed “eTeach” cards for CPS

instruction. In the coming months, CPS teachers will learn more about the new student and teacher cards, as well as highlights of CPL e-resources for classroom use. In November, students will be able to visit their local libraries to pick up a newly designed 81 Club library card.

The 81 Club builds on the success of other recent access initiatives at CPL, including the elimination of overdue fines and expanded Sunday hours. As we continue to recover from the learning disruptions created by a pandemic, CPL can play an important role in ensuring that every CPS stu dent has access to the tools and resources needed to bridge those gaps.

The 81 Club program is supported by our creative partner FCB Chicago and other generous donors to CPL’s philanthropic partner, Chicago Public Library Foundation (CPLF). To learn more about how CPLF supports the Library’s mission and offerings, visit cplfoundation.org.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RAOUL JOINS LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR MAJOR CREDIT CARD COMPANIES’ ADOPTION OF NEW MERCHANT CODE FOR GUN SALES BY ARMS RETAILERS

Attorney General Kwame Raoul joined a coalition of 11 attorneys general supporting the adoption of a new merchant category code by three of the world’s largest credit card companies: Visa, American Express and Mastercard. The new code applies to the sale of firearms and ammuni tion, which will aid law enforcement efforts to combat the scourge of gun violence.

Earlier this month, the International Organization for Standardization approved the creation of a new merchant code that will allow financial institutions to better detect and report suspicious activity related to the purchase of firearms and ammunition at stand-alone gun retail stores.

The code will have no bearing on an individual’s ability to lawfully purchase firearms and is narrowly tailored so it applies only to purchases made at stand-alone gun retail shops. The decision by the credit card com panies is viewed by gun-safety advocates as an important action that will help law enforcement investigate gun crimes, prevent mass shootings and combat illegal weapons trafficking.

In a letter to the chief executives of Visa, American Express and Mastercard, Attorney General Raoul welcomed the companies’ decision to adopt the new merchant code as an important new public safety tool. Gun violence is a national crisis. There have been hundreds of mass shootings in 2022 alone, including the July 4 mass shooting at the Highland Park, Illinois Independence Day parade, a supermarket shooting in Buffalo, New York and the Uvalde Elementary School massacre. In addition, gun violence plagues communities in Chicago and around Illinois. A collective effort – not just isolated acts – is critical to turn the tide on gun-related violence and crime, the letter asserts.

The letter anticipates that use of the new merchant code will yield vital information to fill crucial data gaps related to multiple purchases of firearms and ammunition. Critically, the letter points out, the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has identified failure by retailers to report the sale of two or more firearms to the same person at one time as a common violation found by ATF inspectors.

In addition, the letter notes that the code will enable financial institu tions to track multiple sales to persons who seek to avoid the threshold for reporting gun purchases by making firearms purchases at several different retail outlets.

Clear the Bathroom Clutter

(Family Features) Due to their small size and heavy usage, bathrooms can become messy, cluttered areas for many families.

For those with smaller bathrooms, storage solutions can be even harder to find. Consider these organization tips to make your bathroom a clean and functional space for every member of the family:

Assess the mess: Go through all the cabinets and drawers to clear out unused makeup, health care products and medi cations. Make sure the items you keep are used on a regular basis. Items used sparingly should be placed in an alternate location.

Go vertical: Medicine cabinets can quickly get stuffed when combs, toothpaste

and other toiletries are stored horizontally. Use organizer cups with suction adhesives to contain items vertically and save space.

Hang up in style: Old coat racks and ladders make perfect solutions for larger families to hang multiple towels. Snag an old one from a thrift store and paint it a bright hue, like red or turquoise, for a styl ish bathroom accent piece.

Avoid spills and squirts: Hair products, such as gels, mousses or hairsprays, can create sticky, tough-to-clean messes if liquid escapes the container in a drawer or cabinet. Avoid such mishaps by placing these types of items in plastic tubs instead of directly in the drawer or on a shelf.

Divide and conquer: Bathroom drawers

can become unruly if not organized. To keep items separate and tidy, insert dividers, such as those used for kitchen utensils. These often come in fun materials, such as bamboo or stainless steel, to add a fresh look.

Assign cabinets or drawers: Try to use a large enough cabinet so each member of the family has his or her own space or draw er. This can help limit the amount of items high-maintenance family members can bring into the small area. Plus, it makes it easier for everyone to find their things.

WHERE ART CAN OCCUR THEATER CENTER’S WEARABLE ART GALA RETURNS IN PERSON

LOS ANGELES, PRNewswire -- Where Art Can Occur (WACO) Theater Center announces the five-year anniversary, and this year’s Wear able Art Gala at 4:30 p.m. PST Saturday, Oct. 22, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, CA. The Gala will be hosted by WACO Founders and Co-Artistic Directors Richard Lawson and Tina Knowles Lawson, longtime champions of art and mentorship, who opened the visual and perform ing arts center in 2017.

The evening serves as a fundraiser to support WACO’s artistic and youth mentorship programs.

For the celebratory fifth year anniversary gala, the wearable art theme is Step Into Harlem Nights.

This year’s event will transform the 35,000 square foot hangar into an immersive experience bringing Harlem to Los Angeles, recreating the big ballrooms, jazz clubs, speakeasies, iconic restaurants and theaters where artists such as Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald performed.

“I have always had this dream to bring the energy, tastes and sounds of Harlem in the 1920s to 50s to our gala. From the fashion and the food, to the art, cars and supper clubs— on this night, people will be taken back in time to experience and be inspired by it all…today — in 2022,” shares Tina Knowles Lawson.

The event will be hosted by five-time NAACP Image

Award winner Keke Palmer, and feature an all-star lineup, including a special performance by Grammy and Golden Globe Award winner Andra Day as well as a musical tribute by Chloe Bailey and Halle Bailey. The evening will include the return of Los Angeles-based DJ Millie and close with a

McCormick® Teams Up with Keke Palmer To Announce The Winner of ‘America’s Got Tacos’ Song Contest

HUNT VALLEY, Md., PRNewswire -The McCormick Brand is proud to announce that Reginald Lewis Halsey Jr. was selected as the winner of ‘America’s Got Tacos,’ a nationwide song contest that encouraged fans to showcase their love of tacos by creating an original standout jingle. The contest was announced last month by McCormick part ner, actress and singer Keke Palmer, who also participated in judging submissions and surprised Halsey with the news that he won the Grand Prize of $50,000 and a year’s supply of McCormick Origi nal Taco Seasoning. Halsey’s winning jingle is currently featured across the McCor mick social media pages.

“We’re thrilled with the range and qual ity of creative submissions we received that showcased the entrants’ love of tacos through music,’’ said Jill Pratt, Chief Marketing Of ficer for McCormick. “The winning submis sion was synonymous with everything Mc Cormick Original Taco Seasoning represents. It made us smile with its warmth, originality, and ability to bring family together over a flavorful, delicious taco meal.”

Submissions for ‘America’s Got Tacos’ spanned several genres including Power Ballads, Country, Hip Hop, R&B, and Afro Beats. The contest received entries from solo performers, dynamic duos, and some that in tegrated the entire family. Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia were among the states represented within the top 20 submissions.

Across the board, performers brought their creative chops to the table, embodying all of the flavors of McCormick’s Original Taco Seasoning.

Halsey, the winner of ‘America’s Got Tacos’, is a native and current resident of Chesapeake, VA. A long shoreman by trade, Halsey, 38, began devoting more time to his passion for singing and producing music after he was involved in a car accident in 2019, that was supposed to leave him paralyzed. Creating music became a therapeutic outlet that has helped him during the rehabilitation process. A devoted father of three, his song was inspired by his family’s love of ‘Taco Tuesdays’, which can be seen in the video submission. He describes the song as Soul Rock with a Country twist that will make your feet tap while listening to it.

“I’m so honored to have been chosen by McCormick and Keke Palmer as the winner of ‘America’s Got Tacos’,” said Reginald Lewis Halsey Jr. “After reading about the contest, I was instantly inspired to create a unique song that expressed my love for McCormick Original Taco Seasoning and our family’s weekly taco night. McCormick has always been a staple in our household, especially when it comes to spending time with my children, so it was only fitting that they were featured in my video.”

Halsey’s winning jingle will be featured across McCormick’s social media pages, and can be seen at https://mccormick.widen.net/s/ jmhcqcjld7/americas_got_tacos_winner.

American Diabetes Association Unveils Amputation Prevention Alliance to Address the Diabetes-Related Amputation Pandemic

ARLINGTON, Va., PRNewswire -- The American Diabetes Association® announced a new initiative designed to address the urgent public health challenge of preventable amputation called the Amputation Prevention Alliance. Over 154,000 amputations occur every year in the United States, with the majority of those procedures being preventable, but due to challenges in accessing quality care, patients are forced into unnecessary amputations and even death.

The Amputation Prevention Alliance’s work will focus on addressing com munities facing disproportionately high rates of amputations and amputated-relat ed mortality, including through advancing needed policy changes, driving clinician awareness of opportunities to prevent amputations, and empowering patients to advocate for their best care. This three-year effort will aim to improve care for all people living with diabetes, and enhance access to quality care, technology, and necessary interventions. The aim is to reduce the number of unnecessary amputa tions that take place every year in the United States. The right to avoid an am putation is a center piece of the ADA’s #HealthEquityNow platform.

“Today, the American Diabetes Association is proud to announce the launch of the Amputation Prevention Alliance,” said Charles D. Henderson, ADA’s chief executive officer. “This Alliance, through the groundwork laid by the ADA’s Health Equity Now platform, will increase awareness among patients and health care professionals of risk factors for amputations and opportunities to avoid these procedures. This initiative aims to advance needed policy changes to ensure that health care professionals have the tools necessary to prevent unnecessary procedures and save lives moving forward. We can, and must, do better.”

Access to quality care and earlier intervention remains the challenge that leads to unnecessarily high rates of amputations, particularly among people of color. Black Americans face rates of amputations up to four times higher than non-Hispanic white Americans. LatinX communities are 50 percent more likely to have an amputation and indigenous communities face amputations rates that are two times higher than those among non-Hispanic white Americans.

“Today, 85 percent of diabetes-related amputations are preventable,” said Dr. Jon Bloom, CEO, and Co-Founder of Podimetrics and a Founding Partner of the Amputation Prevention Alliance.

Survey data confirms that far too many people with diabetes are unaware about their own risk for an amputation. In a recent survey of people living with diabetes conducted by Thrivable, despite diabetes being the leading cause of am putations, 65 percent of those surveyed said they believed they were not at risk for amputation and just 1 in 4 of those surveyed understood the signs and symptoms of conditions that can lead to an amputation such as peripheral neuropathy, periph eral artery disease or critical limb ischemia.

Other supporters of the ADA’s Amputation Prevention Alliance include Abbott, Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., and CLI Global Society.

Smart Meter’s Remote Patient Monitoring Solutions Can Help Adults Resume Healthy Practices Before the Winter

TAMPA, Fla., PRNewswire -- Smart Meter has become the leader of the remote patient monitoring (RPM) ecosystem because of its reliable cellular-enabled solutions, data, and services. With summer behind us, it’s important for many Americans to resume healthy habits and Smart Meter’s cellular-enabled solutions can help their providers track key health measurements, like blood glucose levels, blood pressure and weight, in real time.

According to research1, one-fifth of American adults gained 20% of their body weight or more over a 10-year period, with more than a third gaining 10% or more and over half gaining 5% of more. On average, Americans gain 17 pounds between the ages of 20 and 39 and an average of 45 pounds during their lifetime.

Gaining weight during the summer can be disappointing, but experts say it’s common. During a one- to three-week vacation, adults tend to gain weight, according to a 2016 study2. While most people know they aren’t going to eat healthy during the holidays and winter, summer foods can also play a part in a person’s poor health. Popular summer beverages like sweet tea and lemonade, and deserts like ice cream and frozen yogurt contain high amounts of sugar and calories.

There are several other possible reasons for sum mertime weight gain, including: summer BBQs graduation and wedding celebrations vacation food and drink temptations decrease in regular exercise routine due to attending more events

In addition, a lot of people don’t sleep as well in summer because there are more daylight hours, and the warmer weather makes it uncomfortable. Sleep depri vation increases the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that can cause weight gain and stimulate a need for more sugar.

By using Smart Meter’s cellular-connected solu tions including the iGlucose, the iBloodPressure and the iScale, providers will receive real-time measure ments almost immediately after a patient tests. This can help speed up the health recovery process by making adjustments to care plans more quickly than waiting for an office visit.

American Cancer Society and Extended Stay America Partner to Broaden Access to Cancer Care

ATLANTA, PRNewswire -- Lodging expenses can present a significant financial barrier to cancer patients when the most effective treatment requires traveling away from home. To reduce disparities in cancer outcomes and help patients affordably receive the treatment needed, Extended Stay America is renewing its partnership with the American Cancer Society to offer 20,000 free and 40,000 reduced rate nights at more than 760 Extended Stay America locations nationwide.

In 2022, more than 1.9 mil lion new cancer cases will be diagnosed in the United States. In a large national study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) in April, American Cancer Society researchers found U.S. cancer survivors who reported medical

financial hardship had a higher mortality risk.

“All of us at Extended Stay America are honored to be the Official Hotel Partner of the American Cancer Society,” said Greg Juceam, President and CEO, Extended Stay America. “We are proud to help patients with cancer by providing a home-like place to stay so patients can focus on getting the most effective treatment. This would not have been possible without the support of our owners, Blackstone and Starwood.”

Patients living more than 40 miles from treatment with a demon strated need for lodging assistance are eligible for the program. After eligibility is verified by the American Cancer Society’s National Cancer Information Cen ter, reservations can be made by the patient through a dedicated website.

Since the partnership began in 2013, Extended Stay Amer ica has donated more than 150,000 hotel room nights through out the US, saving patients with cancer and their families over $9 million in lodging costs. The American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge communities are also available to cancer patients. In 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily paused services, these communities served more than 29, 000 people with cancer and their caregivers, providing more than 500,000 free nights of lodging.

From 1991 to 2019, there has been a 32% decline in cancer mortality. The American Cancer Society can directly attribute declines in the overall cancer death rate to investment of funds and resources in the areas of advocacy, discovery, and direct patient support. The Society believes all people should have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from cancer regard less of how much money they make, skin color, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status or where they live.
