AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

FDA Leadership Shake-Up: President Trump nominated Dr. Heidi Overton to lead the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a move that puts Louisiana’s Senate confirmation spotlight on vaccine and drug-policy fights. Behavioral Health Access: River Oaks Hospital finished renovations expanding partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient mental health and substance-use care in Harahan, with a ribbon-cutting set for Aug. 27. Heat and Crisis Calls: Louisiana’s 988 hotline saw more calls during extreme temperatures, with researchers linking spikes to hotter, more humid nights and higher suicide-risk and agitation-related contacts. Teen Pregnancy Program Blocked: A federal judge halted HHS’s sweeping changes to the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program while a lawsuit moves forward, leaving many canceled Louisiana grants in limbo. Public Safety and Health Equity: Baton Rouge students report mental health support gaps, with only a third saying schools provide adequate help. Community Health Infrastructure: Kenner will break ground Aug. 20 on reconstructing the Arthur P. Clay Community Center in partnership with InclusivCare. Local Health Ops: UL Lafayette move-in week triggers road closures and limited access near campus and health care facilities. Infectious Disease Watch: LDH confirmed a brain-eating amoeba infection tied to Lake Claiborne, renewing summer water-safety concerns.
