AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Outbreak Readiness: Unannounced avian-flu drills at healthcare facilities in the U.S. Virgin Islands and two states found gaps in infection-control practices. Staff asked about possible avian-flu exposure in just 9.6% of drills, underscoring the need for faster, more consistent screening. Student Mental Health: Education Department workshops on student wellness and suicide warning signs are taking place across St. John, St. Thomas and St. Croix through Oct. 15, offering families guidance on recognizing distress and finding support. Medicare Advantage: A bipartisan bill would set Puerto Rico’s payment benchmark equal to the U.S. Virgin Islands’, aiming to address underfunding tied to how Medicare costs are calculated.ૂર
