AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Heart Health: New research presented at the American Heart Association’s Chicago meeting linked energy drinks and stimulant supplements to more reports of cardiac arrest and heart attacks, especially among young adults; the findings show an association, not proof of cause. Infection Prevention: Measles cases have topped 5,000 nationwide as vaccination rates fall. UW Health and Cook County officials are urging people to get vaccinated ahead of holiday gatherings, with flu season also starting early. Hospital Access: A suburban hospital is limiting who can enter its emergency room amid rising respiratory illnesses. Meanwhile, state approval for Lurie Children’s proposed Downers Grove hospital could expand pediatric care in the western suburbs. Workforce and Coverage: UI Health providers have authorized a strike amid a pay dispute. Illinois retirees also gained a one-year transition period after BJC Health and Aetna agreed to maintain access to care.
