RFK Jr. says he will stop at nothing to hold institutions accountable that have harmed Americans’ health. “I didn’t come to Washington to protect institutions from uncomfortable questions.” “I came to make those institutions answer those questions.” “I intend to stay in this fight as long as I am able.” “I told people… that I would be in this fight, and that I would die with my boots on.” “That’s what I intend to do.” @childrenshd

Last week, @SecKennedy welcomed Türkiye’s Minister of Health, @drmemisoglu, to HHS for a discussion on strengthening health cooperation between our two countries. The leaders discussed shared priorities in preventive health, health technologies, research and innovation, and opportunities to work together to build stronger health systems for the future.

It was a pleasure joining @peptidemedicine to discuss how we can advance innovative approaches that help Americans live longer, healthier lives—and build a future where better health begins with prevention.

I was honored to join @Heritage Men and Women’s Health Summit to discuss a lesson I learned firsthand as a urologist: too often, men enter the health care system only after a health problem has progressed.   We need to change that.
