Today on The Point, it's the news roundup, where we check in with area journalists to talk about stories making news this week.

Among the stories we will be talking about: a looming change to customs policy could make getting prescriptions from Canada difficult; Nantucket hosts a national summit for hospitals dealing with the unique challenges of a seasonal population and geographic isolation; and our drought status remains unchanged despite recent rain events.
