AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Community Health: Meridian families received groceries, healthy recipes, blood pressure screenings and nutrition guidance at a Together Table event organized with Ochsner Health. Rural Hospitals: Mississippi is among six states weighing changes to Certificate of Need laws as federal rural-health funding favors states that ease these rules, raising questions about how changes could affect hospital access. Health Coverage: CMS has quietly restored some Affordable Care Act enrollments canceled in a fraud review but has not said how many; people may discover coverage gaps when seeking care. Patient Care: Mississippi lawmakers heard testimony about prison healthcare, including amputations and delays in cancer treatment. Drug Safety: The DEA is targeting concentrated kratom-derived opioid products for possible Schedule I controls, while leaving natural kratom leaf outside the proposed action.
