AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Flu Season: Influenza is spreading unusually early across the U.S.; the estimated hospitalization rate for mid-October was the highest for that point in the season since 2010–11, with H1N1 dominant. Veterans’ Care: The Anchorage VA and 16 affiliated clinics have joined a new electronic health records system, part of a rollout covering more than 163,000 veterans and 7,800 staff in Alaska and Ohio. Maternal Health: A Homer clinic received $727,000 for a postpartum home-visit program; separate federal research funding includes projects with Alaska tribal communities to improve Native maternal health. Recovery Services: Ketchikan Indian Community received $5 million to create an addiction healing center with recovery services and cultural programs. Youth Nicotine: About one in six Alaska high school students reports vaping, with health advocates warning that flavored products can make nicotine more appealing to young people.
