AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Seatbelt Safety & EMS: A 49-year-old volunteer firefighter, Robert Hughes of Kaplan, died after a single-vehicle crash on LA 14 while responding to an emergency; troopers say he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and the passenger was also unrestrained and seriously injured. Cancer Screening Access: Baton Rouge hosted free men’s health screenings, including prostate and colorectal checks at a barbershop and blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and mental health screenings at Pennington Biomedical—aimed at making care easier for men who skip doctors. Local Health Workforce Moves: New Orleans saw healthcare staffing updates, including a new radiologist at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center and promotions within Acadian Ambulance. Food Assistance Shock: SNAP enrollment fell more than 13% nationally as stricter federal work and paperwork rules took effect, with advocates in Louisiana pointing to administrative barriers as a major driver. Wellness in the Community: New Orleans women gathered for the “Shake Back” fit camp with workouts, smoothies and a pool party focused on physical and mental well-being. Public Health & Recalls: Dog food recalls were issued over Salmonella and possible metal contamination, with Louisiana among the distribution states.
