NEW! More than 100 major public health leaders — including former HHS secretaries, CDC directors, surgeon generals, governors and state health officials — urge Congress to reject dismantling of U.S. health programs by Trump administration static1.squarespace.com/static/67b63... #ForOurHealth
Congress must act now. We call for immediate oversight hearings to address the Trump Administration’s actions and swift legislative action to: ● Identify what programs are lost in restructuring HHS agencies and programs, including those in CDC, and the proposals for the new Administration for a Healthy America (AHA). ● Reinstate funding for public health agencies until there is an orderly plan for vital programs. ● Strengthen vaccine recommendations and messaging supporting vaccine use to curb outbreaks. ● Combat misinformation that undermines science and public trust. ● Bolster pandemic preparedness efforts to protect Americans from future threats. ● Protect the noncommunicable disease prevention programs developed through the knowledge and leadership at CDC that help keep America healthy. Public health is not a partisan issue—it is a core responsibility of the government and essential to our nation's security, stability, and prosperity. HHS and CDC play an irreplaceable role in safeguarding American lives, yet their mission is sabotaged by neglect and misinformation at the highest levels. Failure to act now will result in preventable suffering, deaths, and the further deterioration of our nation’s standing as a global leader in health and innovation. The time for bold action is now

Dismantling CDC & HHS will lead to poorer health and unnecessary suffering and death. This is NOT the answer! Take a minute to tell your members of Congress we deserve better. It's quick & easy with APHA's action alert:
