AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Mobile Mammography Access: WVU Medicine’s Bonnie’s Bus will bring 3D screening mammograms and breast care education to Lincoln and Preston counties in August, with appointments in Hamlin (Aug. 4), Kingwood (Aug. 6) and Newburg (Aug. 7); screenings are billed to private insurance, Medicaid or Medicare, and uninsured/underinsured women who meet criteria can get help through the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program. Nursing Home Neglect Lawsuit: A lawsuit alleges a Toledo-area nursing home chain left a resident in the same position for 33 eight-hour shifts, leading to a pressure ulcer, infection and death—an example of preventable harm tied to basic turning and toileting care. PFAS Accountability: Chemours agreed to a $450M federal settlement over PFAS “forever chemical” contamination affecting facilities in New Jersey, West Virginia and North Carolina, pairing penalties with major discharge-reduction programs. SNAP Food Rules Blocked, Then Reversed: A federal judge struck down West Virginia’s SNAP food restriction waiver, and USDA later told retailers to stop the soda ban so SNAP recipients can buy eligible foods and drinks again. Medicare Drug Coverage Risk: KFF reports thousands of Medicare beneficiaries on Wellcare zero-premium plans may lose coverage after premium increases and missed payments, potentially leaving them without prescriptions for the rest of the year. Heat Safety Reminder: WVU exercise physiology experts say the heat index matters more than temperature alone, urging caution when it’s above 80°F—especially for older adults, kids, outdoor workers and people with chronic conditions. Falls Prevention Push: U.S. Sen. Jim Justice promoted his SAFE Act in Beckley, aiming to let Medicare patients get a no-cost fall assessment with a physical therapist during annual wellness visits. Public Health in Emergencies: Wood County’s shelter-in-place order near a Parkersburg warehouse fire continues while DEP and EPA monitor air quality, with officials urging residents to follow local guidance if they have health concerns.
