Secretary Kennedy

Today, @ACFHHS launched “A Home for Every Child Innovation Challenge.” We will reward states that achieve the highest foster home-to-child ratios and those that deliver the fastest improvement. The goal is to have more homes waiting for kids — not kids waiting for homes.

Today we’re shutting the door on fraud—preventing new bad actors from entering Medicare while we aggressively identify, investigate, and remove those already exploiting them. This is about protecting patients, restoring integrity, and safeguarding taxpayer dollars.

The Trump administration has made it loud and clear to all states: if you commit fraud, you will lose medicaid funding.

Dr. Ellen Vora on how daily habits shape mental health—and why the mind-body connection matters. Full episode out now: youtube.com/watch?v=L-TM6j… #TheSecretaryKennedyPodcast

Thank you, Nebraska Governor @TeamPillen, @UofNE_President, Dr. @hewlett_angela, and the entire @unmc team for your decisive leadership and exceptional care in safely repatriating and treating Americans exposed to the Andes Hantavirus. Nebraska plays a critical role in America’s biosecurity, and UNMC’s world-class biocontainment capabilities continue to set the gold standard for infectious disease response. President Trump is right — you have done a fantastic job. The nation is grateful for your service and partnership in protecting the health and safety of the American people. If you need anything from HHS, we will deliver.

Fighting to Make America Healthy Again 🇺🇸

Huge MAHA win! We are raising the bar on food safety. Just because a chemical is widely used doesn’t mean it’s safe. @US_FDA will now continuously review chemicals in our food — and act faster when risks appear.

Marty, you took on entrenched interests, challenged the status quo, and never lost sight of the American people we serve. You pushed forward critical reforms and helped advance our mission to Make America Healthy Again. I’m grateful for your courage and your friendship. Wishing you the very best in your next chapter. I also want to thank Kyle Diamantas for stepping in as Acting Commissioner — his leadership has already delivered remarkable wins on the MAHA food agenda, and I have full confidence in his continued work. We have an outstanding team at FDA, and the work continues without pause. The search for a new Commissioner is already underway, and we will move forward with urgency.

Strong families, a stronger America. 🇺🇸 President Trump is lowering costs, expanding access to fertility care, and putting moms and families FIRST.

.@SecKennedy: “@POTUS has asked me to determine the cause of dropping fertility rates in this country. So we have @NIH and the other agencies doing the first really comprehensive science on that.”

“You had two administrations that were unfriendly to motherhood.” @SecKennedy highlights President Trump’s commitment to protecting life and supporting moms. “I’m proud to be a part of an administration that wants to make America welcoming and friendly to motherhood again.”

.@SecKennedy outlines America’s fertility crisis: “We now have a fertility rate officially of 1.57, and that’s down from 1920…it was at 3.26.” “It’s way below the replacement rate which is 2.1.” “It is actually approaching the rates they have in China and Japan.”

“It’s one-stop shopping for moms who want information on IVF, on prenatal care, on postnatal care, on nutrition, on baby formula, on all of the universe of concerns that an expectant mother might have.” @SecKennedy discusses Moms.gov at the @HHSGov Mother’s Day Roundtable.

Healing begins when people come together around shared values and common purpose. Rededicate 250 on Sunday, May 17 will be a day of reflection, prayer, and hope for America’s future. RSVP for Sunday, May 17 in Washington, DC: f250.digital/pray
