World Cup access in NJ: Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced 770 free FIFA World Cup tickets for New Jersey residents, including 200 for Hackensack frontline nurses and 70 via a “Welcome World Rewards” program for local small-business supporters, with the rest aimed at youth soccer clubs, National Guard families, and critically ill children. Public health & safety prep: NJ TRANSIT, NJ DOT, and New Jersey State Police outlined readiness steps for the tournament, emphasizing transportation planning, emergency management, cybersecurity, and fan services. Heat risk: A heat advisory is in effect for parts of NJ (including Mercer, Camden, Gloucester, and Northwestern Burlington) with heat index values up to 104 degrees, urging hydration and checking on vulnerable neighbors. Pediatric care expansion: RWJBarnabas Health and Union County will launch a mobile pediatric unit to deliver screenings, physicals, immunizations, and preventive services across Union County communities once licensed. Hospital research: CHOP reported an immune system pattern in critically ill children with sepsis or organ dysfunction linked to harder recovery and higher mortality, pointing toward better risk identification. Community health/legal: New Jersey’s Supreme Court ruled a nonprofit federally qualified health center can still face negligence suits, limiting broad immunity claims. Local tragedy: Wildwood police said the body of a 14-year-old boy missing off the coast since June 1 was recovered and identified. Health policy watch: NJ lawmakers are advancing bills that would designate EMS as essential statewide, a move critics say could strain volunteer rescue squads and push costly paid models.
