AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

West Nile: Rhode Island has reported its first human case of 2026: a Washington County resident in their 60s who likely contracted the virus out of state is recovering in the hospital. Risk is now low, but remains until a hard frost. Care Access: South County Health has joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network, gaining access to Mayo’s clinical expertise, research and education resources. Drug Costs: Consumers who bought eligible generic prescriptions from May 2009 through December 2019 may qualify for compensation from a multistate settlement; claims are due by March 8, 2027. Coverage Changes: Rhode Island Medicaid has ended coverage of Wegovy, Zepbound and other GLP-1 drugs when prescribed only for weight loss. Health System Finances: Brown University Health announced buyouts and executive layoffs amid a bleak financial outlook.
