The confirmation hearings for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the new secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have brought attention to the important role this department plays in the nation’s health and well-being. While health issues have often been overshadowed by other concerns, the work of HHS affects every aspect of American life.

As a member of the U.S. Cabinet, the Secretary of HHS serves as a key advisor to the president on health matters. The department oversees vital programs like Medicare and Medicaid, ensuring health insurance for one in three Americans. Agencies like the Food and Drug Administration safeguard the nation’s food supply and medical products, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention monitor and respond to emerging diseases. The National Institutes of Health fund research for medical breakthroughs, and other divisions of HHS provide essential services like food assistance for seniors and hearing aids for low-income individuals.

With 13 divisions and 10 regional offices, HHS employs over 80,000 workers who play a crucial role in coordinating health policies and programs at federal, state, and local levels. The department is the nation’s largest grantmaker, providing funding for programs addressing diverse health needs and emergencies. HHS also collaborates with other agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to address interconnected issues like education, labor, housing, and nutrition.

The interconnected nature of health crises, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrates the importance of a coordinated and proactive approach to public health. HHS plays a vital role in ensuring the nation’s health security and response to emergencies, from natural disasters to infectious disease outbreaks. Decisions made by HHS leaders have a direct impact on the lives of all Americans, influencing not just health outcomes but also economic stability and national security.

By prioritizing science, collaboration, and evidence-based policies, HHS plays a critical role in promoting a healthier and more resilient society. The department’s impact extends far beyond health, shaping the social, economic, and security landscape of the country.
