- On March 27, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a major restructure that would reduce HHS’ total workforce by 20,000 employees, including 10,000 layoffs, and consolidate its 28 divisions into 15. Layoffs at many HHS agencies have already begun.
- Under the restructure, a new Administration for a Healthy America would be created, combining multiple agencies, including the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Other changes include eliminating divisions within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), creating a new Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and reorganizing services for older adults and people with disabilities.
