AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Tick & Lyme Risk: A University of Florida study highlights how cogongrass can help lone star ticks survive longer, potentially worsening tick-borne illness risk. Cancer Care: FirstHealth’s lung cancer program was named a GO2 for Lung Cancer Center of Excellence, citing strong screening and early-stage detection. Medicaid Dental Confusion: North Carolina’s new state budget includes two unclear paragraphs that may affect Medicaid dental billing for procedures at ambulatory surgical centers, leaving the Medicaid dental director seeking guidance. Public Health & Safety: Rocky Mount police are investigating three deaths in a home after a power shutoff, with a generator suspected as a possible carbon monoxide source. Bedbugs Rising: Bedbug infestations are increasing, and researchers are raising concerns about potential links to harder-to-treat infections. Food Recalls: Walmart shoppers should check for recalled Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kits due to possible listeria contamination. Invasive Insects: Warmer North Carolina weather could speed spotted lanternfly spread, experts warn. Community Health Access: Transylvania County Schools continues delivering free summer meals directly to children across rural routes. Lung Health Reminder: With heat and outdoor conditions changing, tick and insect prevention is becoming more urgent for families.
