Organizations that provide humanitarian relief and more through aviation will return to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 as the popular Public Benefit Flying area will be part of the 73rd edition of the Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in July 20-26 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh.
The aircraft, crews, and organizations that supplyaid to victims of natural disasters, war, famine, and other emergencies around the globe will be part of the presentations, along with aircraft on and near Boeing Plaza at the center of the AirVenture grounds. The display will also feature a pavilion that allows current pilots to explore volunteer possibilities and register to help any one of the many organizations represented.
"In 2025, more than 1,500 pilots registered at Oshkosh to become part of public benefit flying, whether that is bringing relief supplies to disaster-stricken areas, flying cancer patients to their appointments, or even moving rescue animals across the country," said Rick Larsen, EAA's vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. "This groundswell showed the great spirit of the general aviation community to be there when needed in any possible way benefit those in need."
The Air Care Alliance will again coordinate the participating organizations at Oshkosh, as it represents more than 50 groups dedicated to delivering impactful and inspiring service through aviation. It will again welcome all pilots to learn more about the nationwide opportunities available to serve others by using their aviation skills. Non-pilots are also welcome to visit during AirVenture to discover more about the multitude of ways that aviation uses local airports and benefits local communities.
More details on participating aircraft and organizations will be announced as they are finalized.

Celebrating 80 Years of VA-Academic Medicine Partnership
AAMC President and CEO David J. Skorton, MD, issued the following statement marking the 80th anniversary of the partnership between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and academic medicine:
"For 80 years, the VA and our nation's medical schools, academic health systems, and teaching hospitals--collectively known as academic medicine--have partnered to provide educational, clinical, and research opportunitiesthat have improved health care for millions of veterans. Together, this collaboration has expanded access to high-quality health care for veterans and for all patients nationwide.
Approximately 70% of physicians practicing today complete at least part of their training in VA facilities, dedicating their time, experience, and talent to serving this unique population. As the largest provider of residency training opportunities in the United States, VA facilities play a critical role in developing our nation's future physician workforce. Additionally, the shared medical advancements that are developed through the partnership between the VA and academic medicine benefit patients and VA facilities nationwide.
I have experienced first-hand the exceptional instruction, training, research, and patient care conducted within VA facilities when I completed part of my undergraduate and graduate medical education in VA centers in Chicago and Los Angeles - and then served as attending physician at a general internal medicine continuity-of-care clinic and led the echocardiography laboratory at the Iowa City VA Medical Center. Serving veterans is a privilege I hold deeply, and I am grateful for how the VA helped shape me as both a physician and a member of my community.
Academic medicine works for America, and the 80-year partnership between the VA and AAMC-member institutions reflects our deep commitment to strengthening health care for the nation's veterans. We look forward to continuing to serve those who have bravely served our country."

Christina Lee Storm, co-founder of Playbook PLBK and head of studio, narrative, at AI-native studio Secret Level, will moderate.
"Today's creators must be as fluent in entrepreneurship as they are in storytelling," said Tina Perry, chair of the Television Academy Foundation. "This event is designed to give those entering the entertainment industry an insider's view of how creative vision, business strategy and innovation intersect in today's media careers. Our goal is to equip emerging creators with the tools, confidence and mindset needed to lead in a rapidly changing media landscape."
"Creativity is powerful, but ownership and strategy are what allow that creativity to travel, scale and endure," said Crommett. "In this rapidly changing landscape, we're all needing to be entrepreneurial; and that creates challenges but also opens up a world of possibility."

ASAM Statement on the Great American Recovery Initiative
In response to the Executive Order titled " Addressing Addiction through the Great American Recovery Initiative, " which establishes a task force to address addiction in America using a chronic disease lens, Stephen M. Taylor, MD, MPH, DFAPA, DFASAM, president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), issued the following statement:
"ASAM has long defined addiction as a treatable, chronicmedical disease. We are pleased to see this definition embraced at the federal level, accompanied by a commitment to advance prevention, treatment, and recovery initiatives for American communities impacted by this deadly disease.
To truly treat addiction as a chronic disease, patients and clinicians need reliable and sustainable funding solutions. Expanding Medicare and Medicaid coverage to encompass the full continuum of addiction care would significantly strengthen America's treatment infrastructure and reduce financial barriers to evidence-based care.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services must also ensure that impending Medicaid Expansion work reporting requirements are implemented in a way that protects individuals with substance use disorders and does not interfere with their coverage for lifesaving treatment and recovery services.
As a national medical society representing frontline physicians and other clinicians specializing in addiction prevention and treatment, ASAM looks forward to working with the administration to promote individualized, compassionate, and comprehensive care, with no wrong door to recovery."
About the American Society of Addiction Medicine
The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), founded in 1954, is a professional medical society representing over 8,000 physicians, clinicians, and associated professionals in the field of addiction medicine. ASAM is dedicated to increasing access and improving the quality of addiction treatment, educating physicians and the public, supporting research and prevention, and promoting the appropriate role of physicians in the care of patients with addiction.

ADA Urges EPA to Use Peer-reviewed, Scientifically Tested Evidence in Latest Review Process
The American Dental Association (ADA) remains committed to the oral health benefits of optimally fluoridated water. Good oral health depends on nutrition, proper hygiene, regular dental visits and optimally fluoridated water. Eighty years of evidence show community water fluoridation is safe, effective, and reduces tooth decay.
"As the EPA reviews the science under the Safe Drinking Water Act, we urge AdministratorZeldin and his team to implement an objective, evidence-based process utilizing all the latest peer-reviewed, valid and reproducible research on IQ and neurocognition to reach an objective conclusion," said Richard Rosato, D.M.D., president of the American Dental Association. "The ADA and leading scientific experts continue to affirm that optimally fluoridated water is a proven, safe, and effective way to protect the public's oral health."
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin's announcement to reconsider the health impacts of fluoride in drinking water with a review of new scientific information was initially encouraging for reaffirming a safe public health practice of fluoridating water. However, their exclusion of recently published studies that refute the claim that there is a negative association between fluoridated water and cognitive abilities jeopardizes the validity of the scientific methodology and ultimately their findings. Even worse, the inclusion of questionable studies that use invalid measurements and suspicious datasets will not provide an accurate assessment and will likely lead to a flawed conclusion.
"While this is the preliminary stage assessment, the ADA is hopeful that the EPA will use peer-reviewed, scientifically tested evidence rather than biased, mischaracterized studies that use flawed datasets and do not stand-up to scientific rigor during the next assessment phase," says Dr. Rosato. "We look forward to continued dialogue with the Trump Administration and Administrator Zeldin on this important public health issue."
Under discussion currently within the EPA is the procedure and process for developing a new report. Previously cited research during an ongoing lawsuit utilized weak evidence in the National Toxicology Program report and did not pertain to the practice of fluoridation in the U.S. and Canada at 0.7 mg/L. The NTP report also did not conclude with any certainty that water fluoridated at low levels is injurious to public health.
The ADA submitted written comments to the EPA last June 2025 and is planning to submit additional information this year. The ADA's primary concern is the requirement that the EPA follow its own standard review protocols to prevent biased analysis. The EPA should also exclude research published in non-peer reviewed, outlets, and other research whose authors will not allow access to the data, methodology or findings to the entire scientific community of experts.
