The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is set to cut 10,000 full-time jobs as part of a downsizing initiative, which aims to reduce costs and improve efficiency. This move follows an already significant reduction of 10,000 positions through voluntary retirements. Affected agencies include the FDA, CDC, NIH, and CMS. Additionally, the Trump administration has proposed ending over $12 billion in federal grants, which primarily fund COVID testing and health disparity initiatives, leading to immediate layoffs in local health departments.
Last Thursday the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced plans to cut 10,000 full-time jobs across the department, impacting major health organizations.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated the aim of these cuts is to save money and increase efficiency within the department.
