AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Health Care Affordability: A new WalletHub study says New York is among the worst states for health care affordability, ranking No. 39 overall and dead last on cost—highlighting how spending can rise without better outcomes. Local Hospital Spotlight: Newport Hospital’s Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center earned the No. 1 spot in Rhode Island and the Providence metro area in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026-2027 rankings, while The Miriam Hospital stayed the top Rhode Island hospital for the 15th straight year. Community Health Leadership: Providence Community Health Centers CEO Merrill Thomas announced he’ll retire at the end of 2026. Public Health & Data Privacy: Lifespan Physicians Group is facing a reported data breach affecting 290,000+ patient records, with unauthorized access tied to a server incident in late 2025. Rhode Island Environment & Wellness: DEM says Worden Pond in South Kingstown will be treated for invasive hydrilla starting Aug. 7, with repeated treatments through November. AI in Care: States are adding “human guardrails” as lawmakers push insurers to use AI with oversight rather than letting algorithms make coverage decisions alone.
