AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Cyclospora Outbreak: CDC says the lettuce-linked cyclosporiasis outbreak has expanded to 15 states, with 10,468 lab-confirmed cases nationwide and 517 hospitalizations; Michigan reported two deaths as officials continue tracing the source. Local Food Safety: Michigan lifted earlier broad guidance as case reports and ER visits decline, while Alabama reports rising cases tied to restaurant outbreaks and multistate lettuce links. Organ Donation Oversight: HHS has started the process to decertify Network for Hope, the organ procurement organization serving Kentucky and parts of Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia, citing persistent patient safety failures in federal reviews. Cancer Care Innovation: WVU Cancer Institute regional sites began offering scalp-cooling units to help reduce chemotherapy-related hair loss, including Thomas Memorial Hospital and other WVU Medicine locations. Hospital Quality Recognition: United Hospital Center in Bridgeport earned U.S. News “High Performing” honors across multiple conditions and procedures, while J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital maintained top-in-state rankings. Rural Health Capacity: Groundbreaking held for a new $40 million skilled nursing facility in Barboursville to expand rural long-term care access. Public Health Leadership: Senate confirmed Erica Schwartz as CDC director, a move that could affect vaccine coverage rules through the immunization schedule. Workplace Health: Federal data shows black lung among veteran central Appalachian miners hit the highest level since 1978, including elevated rates in West Virginia. SNAP Disaster Relief: West Virginia DoHS extended the deadline for SNAP recipients to report storm-related food losses through Aug. 10.
