The Supreme Court on Friday issued a temporary hold on a ruling that restricts access to the abortion pill mifepristone, in today's bite-sized hospital and health industry news from California, the District of Columbia, and Illinois.

• California: Last week, an unknown individual fired shots from a vehicle at  Kaiser Permanente's Roseville hospital. After receiving reports that someone opened fire, the  Roseville Police Department  reported to the scene. When they arrived, officers discovered that while the Kaiser building had been struck, no one was injured. According to law enforcement, the incident is seemingly related to another incident in Citrus Heights that occurred the night of the attack. Earlier that night, the Citrus Heights police received a report of a suspect allegedly shooting multiple rounds. While shell cases were found in the area, police said no one had been struck by the gunfire. Officials lifted a lockdown at the Kaiser hospital shortly after 10 p.m. So far, police have not released any information about a suspect. "Our Roseville Medical Center is open for patient care," a spokesperson said. (Taylor, Becker's Hospital Review, 4/13)
• District of Columbia: The Supreme Court on Friday issued a temporary hold on a ruling that restricts access to the abortion pill mifepristone. Earlier this month, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued a ruling invalidating  FDA's approval of the drug. On Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals  overturned  part of Kacsmaryk's ruling. Following a formal request from the  Department of Justice, Justice Samuel Alito on Friday issued a hold on the lower court's ruling until Wednesday at midnight. Alito instructed the groups challenging FDA's approval of the drug to file briefs by noon on Apr. 18, suggesting "a brisk schedule for the court's consideration of the case."

• Illinois: Walgreens Boots Alliance  and  VillageMD announced plans to expand their primary care clinics to Colorado. After Walgreens purchased a majority stake in VillageMD in 2021, the companies outlined plans to open 1,000 Village Medical at Walgreens locations by 2027. Currently, there are over 200 co-located clinics. According to Walgreens CFO James Kehoe, roughly half of the clinics' patients fill their prescriptions through Walgreens. Following the expansion, the VillageMD clinics, which are connected to Walgreens pharmacies, will operate in 11 states. According to Walgreens, three new clinics will open in Colorado — one in Longmont and two in Fort Collins. The new clinics will create 70 full-time jobs. (Hudson, Modern Healthcare, 4/13)
