HHS, USDA, EPA, NIH, and FDA join in multi-agency effort with more than 120 initiatives to improve children’s health nationwide.
The Make America Healthy Again Commission, chaired by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has released a national strategy with more than 120 initiatives to reverse the rise in childhood chronic diseases. The plan emphasizes executive actions, expanded research, regulatory reforms, public education, and private-sector collaboration.
Focus areas include strengthening nutrition standards, improving food labeling, addressing environmental exposures, promoting mental health, advancing agricultural practices, and supporting healthier food options in schools and communities.
Officials from several federal agencies, including USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, and NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, stressed the strategy’s cross-government scope.
“The Trump Administration is mobilizing every part of government to confront the childhood chronic disease epidemic,” Secretary Kennedy said. “This strategy represents the most sweeping reform agenda in modern history—realigning our food and health systems, driving education, and unleashing science to protect America’s children and families. We are ending the corporate capture of public health, restoring transparency, and putting gold-standard science—not special interests—at the center of every decision.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Kennedy to receive God’s guidance as he heads initiatives to reduce childhood chronic disease.
- For federal officials to be discerning in their efforts to reform health and education systems for the benefit of American children.
