2. Outer Cape schools see better year for student enrollment (capeandislands.org) — Wellfleet's elementary enrollment fell by just one student this year, a steadier showing after post-pandemic declines across the Outer Cape.

3. How A.I. Is Changing Care at OCHS (provincetownindependent.org) — Outer Cape Health Services, which serves Wellfleet patients, is using artificial intelligence to document appointments and help clinicians research diagnoses and treatments.

Recording visits requires patient consent, and clinicians acknowledge errors and privacy concerns.
   

4. A Book Club That's Worth the Drive From Hyannis (provincetownindependent.org) — Wellfleet volunteers Joyce Angelelli and Virginia Goncalo help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities find their place in a Truro library book club.
