Press Release: Aya Locums’ Nurse Practitioner Named “2024 Locum Tenens Providers of the Year” by Locumpedia

Locumpedia named Emma Moore, Family Nurse Practitioner (NP) with Aya Locums, as a “2024 Locum Tenens Provider of the Year.” Now in its third year, this award celebrates the dedication, excellence and impact of locum tenens physicians across the United States, and honors providers who deliver high-quality patient care on an as-needed basis to communities in need.

Originally from West Virginia, Emma left all comforts of home to travel across the country to help communities in the Pacific Northwest. She’s worked in a community health system as well as a rural clinic in a small town, where she became a lifeline for a population with limited healthcare access.

“I chose to be an Aya locum because I’m given opportunities to learn about different patient populations in various regions while gaining clinical experience,” Emma shared. “I love being a resource to facilities and patients, and filling staffing gaps where they exist. It’s fun to experience new communities and have dedicated time off between contracts.”

Aya Locums is a division within Aya Healthcare that matches physicians and advanced practice providers with facilities across the country. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics noted NPs are the fastest growing occupation in the country with a projected employment increase of 46% by 2031.

“Emma is a standout locum provider who rises to every challenge, ensuring every patient benefits from her dedicated care and vast expertise,” said Rhianna Watson, Associate VP of Recruitment at Aya Locums. “Emma’s ability to adapt and deliver high-quality care in high-pressure environments is truly outstanding, epitomizing the very essence of an Aya Locum.”
