Matt Cook, Children's Hospital Association (CHA) president and CEO, has submitted a letter to Robert F. Kennedy Jr, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The letter highlights potential areas of partnership as the secretary begins his tenure leading the HHS and expresses CHA's desire to work together as Kennedy leads the newly formed Make America Healthy Again Commission.
The budget includes significant cuts to Medicaid and will detrimentally impact children across the nation.
If enacted, these cuts would threaten health care access for millions of children.
The letter, which highlights children’s hospitals’ most urgent FY26 funding priorities, shares CHA’s FY26 Appropriations Request to the Committee on Appropriations.
