HHS pause on external comms delaying upcoming health summits
Briefly

Recent orders from the Trump administration have led to the indefinite postponement of two significant health summits. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is under a communication pause to facilitate a review of ongoing projects and announcements, a common practice during transitions. As a result, the AFCEA Bethesda Health IT Summit and HHS Industry Summit have been affected, with speakers withdrawing amidst the communication freeze. This pause extends until February 1, and exceptions are made for critical health announcements as stated by an HHS spokesperson.
The pause on external communications from HHS aims to allow the new administration to review agency announcements, resulting in the indefinite postponement of two major health summits.
AFCEA Bethesda stated the health IT summit was delayed due to most speakers withdrawing their participation, reflecting the impact of the communication freeze.
