On February 13, 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14212 establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission, chaired by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and charged with investigating the root causes of rising chronic disease, beginning with childhood chronic illness. The Commission delivered its initial assessment in May 2025 and a follow-on strategy later that year. The body is composed of federal officials rather than outside experts, but the promised deliverable — a presidential commission charged with investigating the decades-long rise in chronic illness — was established and has operated.
