Student Loans Fight: Attorney General William Tong joined a coalition suing the U.S. Department of Education over a new rule that could narrow federal student loan access for “professional degree” programs—an issue that hits healthcare workforce training. Air Quality Warnings: Rhode Island and much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic issued alerts for unhealthy ground-level ozone, urging people—especially kids, older adults, and those with asthma or heart/lung conditions—to cut outdoor exertion. Tick Season Surge: ER visits for tick bites are spiking, with CDC noting higher activity in the Northeast and Midwest and Lyme treatment still affecting hundreds of thousands nationwide. Roads & Health Costs: Reports on potholes highlight how deferred maintenance and funding gaps can turn bad pavement into expensive injuries and vehicle damage. Local Care Watch: CMS data details ownership and quality ratings for Royal Middletown Nursing Center in Newport County’s latest quarter. Research Boost: The Rhode Island Foundation awarded nearly $650,000 in seed funding to 26 medical research projects statewide.
