AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

School Mental Health Fight: Fifteen Democratic-led states, including Rhode Island AG Peter Neronha, sued the Trump administration to stop planned cuts to a $1 billion school-based mental health grant program, arguing the move violates a prior court order. Public Health Alert: The CDC confirmed 1,645 cyclosporiasis cases acquired in the U.S. since May 1, with Rhode Island reporting no large-scale outbreak so far; health officials are still working to identify the source as cases spread across many states. Heat & Air Quality: Canadian wildfire smoke is expected to drift over parts of New England, including Rhode Island, while heat advisories continue across the region—raising concerns for outdoor workers and people with health risks. Substance Use Crackdown: The DEA is seeking to temporarily classify “gas station heroin” (7-hydroxymitragynine from synthetic kratom) as a Schedule I substance amid growing misuse concerns. Care Access: Southcoast Health added five new providers across internal medicine, heart & vascular, nephrology, and pulmonology. Workforce Pressure: A new report highlights why family doctors are leaving the workforce, worsening primary care shortages.
