📰 News we're reading
• Who won Monday's high school games across RI? We've got it covered (providencejournal.com) — Smithfield High teams are in the thick of a busy fall sports stretch, with girls soccer drawing 0-0 against Chariho/Prout and several Smithfield squads set for upcoming road and home dates. From cross country meets at Deerfield Park to soccer and volleyball trips to Tiverton and beyond, local athletes face a packed competitive slate this week. 
• Neighborhood Health is NCQA's highest-rated R.I. health plan (pbn.com) — From its Smithfield base, Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island just earned the state's top NCQA rating for Medicaid coverage, scoring 4.5 out of 5 stars. That strong performance, based on patient experience and clinical outcomes, could matter if you or neighbors rely on Medicaid, especially compared with lower-rated options like some Blue Cross and UnitedHealthcare plans.
