Measles Cases Throughout the United States Threaten Elimination Status
In 2025, the United States saw a significant surge in measles cases, with more than 2,000 infections reported: the highest annual total in nearly three decades. This resurgence, driven largely by declining vaccination rates in specific communities, has threatened the country’s “measles elimination” status, which it has held since 2000. Health officials are concerned that the ongoing outbreaks could lead to the virus becoming endemic in the United States once again if immunization gaps are not closed.
Pregnancy-Related Cardiovascular Complications are on the Rise
This Healio article summarizes a large-scale cohort study showing that the burden of pregnancy-related cardiovascular complications in the U.S. has increased significantly over the last two decades. The research found that nearly 1 in 7 pregnancies are now affected by heart-related issues, a trend driven by rising rates of pre-existing conditions like obesity, hypertension and diabetes. Experts emphasize that the period from preconception through one year postpartum is a critical “window of opportunity” to implement prevention strategies and optimize long-term maternal health.
Addressing the Decline of Gender Equity: Lessons for Healthcare Leaders
Based on the 2025 McKinsey/LeanIn.org “Women in the Workplace” study, this article warns healthcare leaders of a notable decline in organizational commitment to gender diversity. Despite women making up nearly 80% of the healthcare workforce, they continue to face an uneven playing field characterized by fewer advancement opportunities, less manager advocacy and a rising “ambition gap” caused by a lack of professional support. The study urges executives to formalize mentorship and merit-based promotions while navigating the increasingly complex legal and compliance risks associated with gender-focused workplace strategies.
2025: The Year Artificial Intelligence Became a Trusted Healthcare Teammate
In 2025, health tech shifted from experimental AI pilots to enterprise-wide implementation, effectively establishing artificial intelligence as a ‘trusted teammate’ by many in clinical settings. High-impact investments in ambient documentation and automated billing have begun to alleviate clinician burnout and affordability challenges. By leveraging agentic tools to bridge staffing gaps, healthcare organizations are successfully refocusing resources on patient navigation and the human-centric aspects of care.
