In March 2025, a reorganization of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was announced. The planned reorganization includes several organizational changes, including merging five existing agencies into a new Administration for a Healthy America, reorienting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention towards infectious disease programs, and breaking up the Administration for Community Living. In addition, the plan proposes a reduction in workforce totalling about 20,000 full-time employees throughout HHS through multiple avenues, with the greatest relative reductions to the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which are each expected to reduce their workforce by 20%.
