Charleston, SC, September 13, 2022 – Floyd Lee Locums announced the winner of its luxury vacation sweepstakes today. Dr. Chinemerem Ugorji of Madison, Mississippi won an all-expenses paid trip—courtesy of the company—to a location of her choice. Valued at $6,000, this vacation recognizes Dr. Ugorji’s contributions to healthcare and the many hours she (and locums providers like her) put in to ensuring care reaches patients and communities everywhere.
“If you know anything about healthcare, you know how difficult these past several years have been, especially on physicians and healthcare providers,” said Co-Founder and CEO Natasha Lee. “That’s why we’re proud to recognize Dr. Ugorji with this luxury vacation for showing up and standing out in her field. Without clinicians like Dr. Ugorji, care across the U.S. would have been fundamentally limited—or worse—brought to a halt by the gaps locums helps fill.”
Dr. Ugorji was entered into Floyd Lee Locums’ vacation sweepstakes by partnering with the organization on a work placement. For those less familiar, locums clinicians step into hospitals, clinics, and more across the country every day to supplement staffing needs for healthcare facilities. They offer relief to full-time employees, provide efficient budget and timing solutions to staffing, and bridge the gap between patients and care.
“Obviously, when I signed up to work as a physician being placed by Floyd Lee Locums, I didn’t think I would be winning a vacation,” said Dr. Ugorji. “But I am over-the-moon and can’t wait to enjoy a little R&R. I already have a few ideas of places I might consider traveling to, and look forward to the opportunity to spend a little time off!”
In order to have been eligible for Floyd Lee Locums’ luxury vacation sweepstakes, physicians and advanced practice providers needed to complete a qualifying task with the company. Examples included accepting a new staffing assignment at a healthcare facility, referring a colleague to an assignment, or having a career conversation with one of the company’s Concierge Consultants.
