AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoBird-Flu Readiness: In a six-month drill covering three U.S. Virgin Islands health facilities and sites elsewhere, only 7 of 73 facilities asked about contact with sick animals—a key bird-flu warning sign. Just 60% masked and isolated the simulated patients. HIV Prevention: Nearly 100 community organizations lost federal HIV-prevention grants as funding shifts to health departments. The program has supported groups in the USVI, Puerto Rico and 31 states, raising concerns about continued access to testing and preventive medication. Food Assistance: SNAP benefits rose Oct. 1, with higher maximums for the USVI, but new work rules and shifting costs to states could put future access at risk. Drug Costs: The USVI joined a multistate coalition seeking approval of a $400 million settlement over alleged generic-drug price fixing. People who bought qualifying generics from May 2009 through December 2019 may be eligible to claim compensation.
