Alpert Jewish Family Service Opens Neil S. Hirsch TMS Center, Helping Remove Cost Barriers to Advanced Depression Treatment
The new center combines FDA-cleared TMS with counseling, psychiatry, and support groups. Most insurance plans are accepted, and a sliding fee scale is available
October 7, 2026 — Alpert Jewish Family Service (Alpert JFS) opened the Neil S. Hirsch TMS Center this week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at its West Palm Beach offices. Donors, community leaders, and funding partners toured the new TMS suite and watched a live demonstration.
The center offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), an FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment for adults with depression, depression accompanied by anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who have not found relief through medication and psychotherapy.
TMS has been FDA-cleared for depression since 2008, yet for many people it remains out of reach. A full course of treatment typically costs several thousand dollars, and many insurance plans cover it only after patients have tried and failed multiple antidepressants.

Florida Pediatricians Testify Against Proposed Rule Weakening School Immunization Requirements
October 8, 2026 – The Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FCAAP) is alarmed by the Florida Department of Health’s proposed revisions to Rule 64D-3.046, Florida Administrative Code. If enacted, the rule would remove the requirement that children attending K-12 public schools be immunized against hepatitis B, varicella (chicken pox), Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) and pneumococcal diseases. Pediatricians, parents, and advocates testified today before Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo and Department of Health officials, firmly opposing the department’s efforts to weaken Florida’s school immunization requirements and underscoring vaccines’ proven role in keeping children healthy and classrooms safe.

Back or spine problems? Mayo Clinic experts explain where to start
OCTOBER 7, 2026 – When back or spine problems persist, figuring out where to go for care can be confusing. Should you see a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon? A neurologist or rehabilitation specialist? And if you see a spine surgeon, does that mean you’ll need surgery?
Spine conditions often cross medical specialties, which is why getting the right diagnosis is an important first step, say Mayo Clinic spine experts Benjamin Elder, M.D., Ph.D., a neurosurgeon, and Mel Helgeson, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon.
“The optimum benefit is that patients get thorough evaluations from multiple clinicians with different perspectives to figure out the best route forward,” Dr. Elder says.

AMA Statement on Federal Vaccine Injury Initiative
“The AMA strongly supports legitimate, ongoing vaccine safety monitoring, as well as research grounded in sound science. Investigating potential adverse events is an essential part of protecting patients and maintaining public trust. Research is key to advancing our understanding of this issue, but it must be conducted objectively, transparently, and free from political influence. It should follow strict scientific standards and allow the evidence—rather than predetermined conclusions—to guide the outcomes.
“We are already witnessing the rise in vaccine-preventable diseases due to declines in immunization rates across the U.S. Continuing to undermine confidence in established vaccination practices will further lower immunization rates and fuel the return of preventable diseases. If you have questions about vaccines, talk to your physician.” READ MORE |
AMA Offers Resources as Major Provisions of H.R.1 Take Effect
October 8, 2026 – As major provisions of H.R. 1, also known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” take effect, changes to Medicaid and other federal health coverage programs could impact how patients get and maintain coverage and access care. The American Medical Association (AMA) is offering resources to help patients, physicians, and medical students understand what is changing and providing guidance on how to navigate the new requirements, as part of an effort to help patients maintain access.
The law amends many longstanding healthcare policies, including Medicaid eligibility and work requirements as well as health coverage for certain immigrants. The AMA’s online resources explain what is changing, when these provisions take effect, and what patients, physicians and students need to know to protect access to care.
“When Congress was debating this bill, the AMA raised concerns that it would make it harder for patients to access care and could lead to worse health outcomes.

HHS Announces Up to $27.8 Million for Falls Prevention
OCTOBER 9, 2026—The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), today announced the recipients of three falls prevention initiatives totaling up to $27.8 million over three years. The funding will expand proven programs, strengthen connections between health care providers and community organizations, and help states and local partners reach more older adults before a fall leads to injury or loss of independence.
Falls are the leading cause of injury for people 65 and older. One in four older adults falls every year, and a fall is rarely just a fall. It can result in an injury or hospital stay, and non-fatal falls account for an estimated $80 billion in healthcare spending per year. A fall can also shake a person’s confidence and make everyday activities — from walking and shopping to visiting friends — more difficult. Healthcare and aging network providers can help prevent many falls by identifying risks early. They can then connect older adults with programs and support that build strength, improve balance, and make their homes safer.
