On February 13, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order establishing the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission, chaired by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The Commission is tasked with investigating and addressing the root causes of America’s escalating health crisis, with an initial focus on childhood chronic diseases.
Within 100 days, the Commission will produce an assessment that summarizes what is known and what questions remain regarding the childhood chronic disease crisis, including international comparisons.
Within 180 days, it will develop a strategy to improve the health of America’s children. The Commission aims to restore trust in medical and scientific institutions and will hold public hearings, meetings, and roundtables to gather expert input from public health leaders.
