HHS names five new leaders that will advance Trump admin's MAHA goals

The Department of Health and Human Services named five new leaders Monday who will work to advance the Trump administration's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda.

Four of the five appointees were recently confirmed by the Senate, and all five presidential appointees will help with the department's directive to end the nation's obesity and chronic health epidemic. 

“I promised President Trump I would deliver meaningful reform at HHS and improve the health and well-being of every American. Fulfilling that commitment includes placing strong, capable leaders where they can make the greatest impact,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said in a statement. “Each of these appointees brings a record of achievement, leadership, and a deep dedication to restoring the nation’s health and wellness.”

The five appointees are: 

Brian Christine, a men's health expert who will serve as the Assistant Secretary for Health.

Alex Adams, who worked for the Idaho health department and will serve as Assistant Secretary for Family Support, Administration for Children and Families.

Gustav Chiarello, who previously worked for the House Judiciary Committee, will work as Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources. 

Alicia Jackson, a women's health expert, will work as director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.

Michael Stuart, a former U.S. attorney in West Virginia, will serve as the department's General Counsel.
