AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

VA Health IT: The Department of Veterans Affairs raised its Oracle Electronic Health Record Modernization contract ceiling to nearly $27B, with only 14 of 164 VA medical centers fully deployed so far—meaning more rollout support and spending ahead. Idaho Public Health: Central District Health set aside $250,000 to curb the Treasure Valley’s invasive rat problem, as officials push for a more coordinated response. Idaho Abortion Courts: Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador appealed a federal ruling that blocks parts of the state’s near-total abortion ban when pregnancy threatens a mother’s health or involves risk of self-harm, asking the Ninth Circuit to pause the injunction while the case proceeds. Child Safety & Mental Health: Meta is back in court as states argue Instagram/Facebook features are designed to hook children and teens; Meta says it has safety measures and will add more. SNAP Food Changes: Nearly 2.7M SNAP recipients in five states face new limits on what retailers can sell with benefits, starting Aug. 31 in South Carolina and rolling through fall. Infection Alert (Idaho): An Idaho father is in the ICU after contracting a flesh-eating bacterial infection in his leg, highlighting how fast skin infections can escalate. Rehab Donation: Idaho Elks Rehab completed a $300,000, three-year commitment to Performance Therapy Services, expanding access to advanced rehab tech. Care Access Basics: A Boise-area explainer breaks down when to use ERs, clinics, urgent care, or telehealth to avoid high costs. Community Wellness/Prevention: Idaho’s “Senior Fraud/Financial Exploitation Prevention Roadshow” is scheduled in Rexburg, targeting scams that can drain older adults’ finances.
