AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoDengue Response: A CDC report on the U.S. Virgin Islands’ 2024–25 outbreak found that local testing cut wait times for results from one to two months to under a week. The outbreak brought 263 confirmed cases and the territory’s first dengue-related death since 2005. Hospital Funding: Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. proposed $250 million in bonds, including $85 million for the territory’s two hospitals, to address overdue obligations and other financial pressures. Regional Mosquito-Borne Disease: Florida has reported its largest locally acquired dengue outbreak since the 1930s, with hundreds of cases this year, underscoring the need for clinicians to recognize and treat the illness. Heart Health: A study of Western U.S. hospital data linked years of recreational cannabis sales with higher rates of hospitalizations for heart failure, heart attacks and irregular heart rhythms; the findings show an association, not proof that legalization caused the increase.
