Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced MAHA in Action this week, an initiative sharing health-related victories across the country.
“Make America Healthy Again isn’t just a slogan—it’s a mission statement, and we’re delivering results, fast,” Kennedy said. “The MAHA in Action tracker puts the wins on the map. It gives the public, the press, and policymakers real-time visibility into how we’re restoring health, integrity, and accountability to every corner of our public health agency.”
“Americans are tired of toxic food, failed science, and chronic disease becoming the norm,” he added. “We’re turning the tide through bold federal action at HHS and state-driven reforms. The momentum is real, and we’re just getting started.”
The website details federal reforms within HHS, such as the removal of petroleum-based food dyes and additives, shifts within vaccine safety, and findings related to chronic disease. The site also includes an interactive map listing state-level policies supporting MAHA, such as states that have banned synthetic dyes, policies restricting products available through SNAP waivers, laws calling for warning labels on certain ingredients, and states that limit cell phone use in schools.
The MAHA in Action platform declares that “HHS is advancing President Trump and Secretary Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again agenda” through what it describes as “bold actions,” listing the MAHA report, food dye removals, reviewing infant formula, investigating autism, and other efforts.
In May, the MAHA Commission released a report assessing the nation’s declining health among its youth. According to the report, the drivers behind the children’s health crisis are poor diet, environmental chemicals, lack of physical activity, chronic stress, and overmedicalization. “America will begin reversing the childhood chronic disease crisis during this administration by getting to the truth of why we are getting sick and spurring pro-growth policies and innovation to reverse these trends,” the report said.
