Yesterday, @SecKennedy joined @SecVetAffairs Doug Collins to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between HHS and the Department of Veterans Affairs to advance research into psychedelic therapies and other innovative treatments for veterans. This partnership will help expand clinical research, prepare healthcare providers, and ensure veterans can access safe, FDA-approved treatments as they become available.

Supporters of the ACA should be alarmed by the industrial-scale litigation campaign against it. Critics of the Trump administration who purport to fight for patients are hurting them, because they won’t let us do our job. Activist organization Democracy Forward has made the administration the subject of a litigation campaign that seeks to undermine ObamaCare on any issue, no matter how minor or technical.

ICYMI, VA and @HHSgov have entered a significant agreement to advance psychedelic drug trials for Veterans living with severe mental illness. Read: news.va.gov/press-room/va-…

America's future depends on what we grow, what we serve, and what our children eat.      It was a privilege to join thousands of school nutrition professionals today in Charlotte, NC as we discussed our shared mission with @SecKennedy to put real, nutrient-dense food back at the center of school meals. @SchoolLunch    From bringing whole milk back to cafeterias to strengthening Farm to School partnerships and supporting America's farmers and ranchers, we're shining a new light on the importance of school nutrition and giving parents and students healthier choices.   I am calling on every state to pledge to serve even more real, whole foods in school’s to support the health of our children.    A healthy body fuels a healthy mind... and together, we're building a stronger, healthier America. 🇺🇸

Charge d'Affaires Jim Merz welcomed current and prospective members of the Geneva Consensus Declaration to the U.S. Mission today for a dialogue with @HHS_Global Director Bethany Kozma. We are proud to convene nations committed to protecting human dignity, strengthening families, advancing women's health, and defending every country's sovereign right to legislate according to its own values and national context.

Let’s accelerate healthier school meals nationwide! USDA is calling on states, in collaboration with their school districts, to pledge to serve even more real, nourishing foods that help kids thrive, from whole‑food breakfasts to smarter snacks, and healthy cooking methods. Join the movement and help build lifelong healthy eating habits! 💪🍎 🔗fna.usda.gov/schoolmeals/he…

Great recognition from @SpeakerJohnson — “Louisiana's action builds upon the initiatives and leadership of President Donald J. Trump and @FLOTUS Melania Trump, whose “Fostering the Future'' Executive Order catalyzed a renewed national focus on foster care and permanent placement of children into loving homes.”

Fighting fraud isn't just the right thing to do, it's one of the smartest investments we make. In FY 2025, Medicare saved more than $22 for every $1 invested in program integrity — the highest return on investment in the program's history.
