Kennedy Jr., the nation\u2019s health secretary, has said that tackling a chronic disease \u201cepidemic\u201d would be a cornerstone of his Make America Healthy Again agenda, often invoking alarming statistics as an urgent reason for reforming public health in this country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Friday, President Trump released a proposed budget that called for cutting the funding of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by almost half. Its chronic disease center was slated for elimination entirely, a proposal that came as a shock to many state and city health officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMost Americans have some sort of ailment that could be considered chronic,\u201d said Dr. Matifadza Hlatshwayo Davis, health director for the city of St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Of the proposed cuts, she said, \u201cHow do you reconcile that with trying to make America healthy again?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The federal health department last month <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/02\/health\/cdc-layoffs-kennedy.html\" title=\"\">cut 2,400 jobs<\/a> from the C.D.C., whose National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion runs on the largest budget within the agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Programs on lead poisoning, smoking cessation and reproductive health were jettisoned in a reorganization last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Overall, the proposed budget would cut the C.D.C.\u2019s funding to about $4 billion, compared with $9.2 billion in 2024. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The budget blueprint makes no mention of the Prevention and Public Health Fund, a $1.2 billion program. If that figure is taken into account, the cut may be even larger than Mr. Trump\u2019s proposal indicates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The agency would also lose a center focused on preventing injuries, including those caused by firearms, as well as programs for H.I.V. surveillance and prevention, and grants to help states prepare for public health emergencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">According to the proposed budget, the cuts are needed to eliminate \u201cduplicative, D.E.I., or simply unnecessary programs.\u201d Congress draws up the federal budget, but given the Republican majority and its fealty to Mr. Trump, it is unclear how much his proposal will change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">C.D.C. officials had been told that the functions of the chronic disease center would be moved to a new organization within the health department called the Administration for a Healthy America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And the proposal released on Friday appears to allocate $500 million to the health secretary in part \u201cto tackle nutrition, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, overreliance on medication and treatments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But at the C.D.C., the chronic disease center\u2019s budget was nearly three times as large. And even if part of the chronic disease center is resuscitated in the A.H.A., it\u2019s unlikely that the new iteration would involve C.D.C. scientists relocated from Atlanta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe actual subject-matter experts, who administer the programs, might not be there at C.D.C. anymore,\u201d said Dr. Scott Harris, state health officer at the Alabama Department of Public Health. \u201cWe certainly don\u2019t have the same level of expertise in my state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The department of Health and Human Services did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The C.D.C.\u2019s chronic disease center ran programs aimed at preventing cancer, heart disease, diabetes, epilepsy and Alzheimer\u2019s disease. But the center has also seeded initiatives farther afield, ranging from creating rural and urban hiking trails to ensuring that healthy options like salads are offered in airports. It also promoted wellness programs in marginalized communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Davis, the health director in St. Louis, said her department was already reeling from cuts to programs to curb smoking and reduce lead poisoning and health disparities, as well as the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/26\/health\/trump-state-health-grants-cuts.html\" title=\"\">rescinding of more than $11 billion<\/a> that the C.D.C. had been providing to state health departments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI would take back Covid-19 in a heartbeat over what\u2019s happening right now,\u201d Dr. Davis said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the proposed budget, the administration suggested that the eliminated programs would be better managed by states. But state health departments already manage most chronic disease programs, and three-quarters of the C.D.C. center\u2019s funding goes to support them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Loss of those funds \u201cwould be devastating for us,\u201d said Dr. Harris, the health officer in Alabama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The state has one of the highest rates of chronic diseases in the country, and about 84 percent of the public health department\u2019s budget comes from the C.D.C., Dr. Harris said. About $6 million goes to chronic disease programs, including blood pressure screening, nutrition education for diabetes and promotion of physical activity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If those funds were cut, \u201cI am at a loss right now to tell you where that would come from,\u201d he added. \u201cIt just seems that no one really knows what to expect, and we\u2019re not really being asked for any input on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Minnesota\u2019s vaunted health department has already laid off 140 employees, and hundreds more may be affected if more C.D.C. funding is lost. Cuts to chronic disease prevention will affect nursing homes, vaccine clinics and public health initiatives for Native Americans in the state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe actions of the federal government have left us out on a flimsy limb with no safety net below us,\u201d said Dr. Brooke Cunningham, the state\u2019s health commissioner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Until recently, \u201cthere seemed to be a shared understanding at the local, state and federal level that health was important to invest in,\u201d Dr. Cunningham said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The C.D.C.\u2019s chronic disease center\u2019s work touches American lives in many unexpected ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Prairie Village, Kan., Stephanie Barr learned about the center 15 years ago when, working as a waitress with no health insurance, she discovered a lump in her breast the size of a lemon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Through the C.D.C.\u2019s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, she was able to get a mammogram and an ultrasound, and staff members helped her enroll in Medicaid for treatment after a biopsy determined the lump was malignant, Ms. Barr said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was caught in the nick of time,\u201d said Ms. Barr, now 45 and free of cancer. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since that program began in 1991, it has provided more than 16.3 million screening exams to more than 6.3 million people with no other affordable access, said Lisa Lacasse, president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The organization is one of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/606e6778226e5b3b32094244\/t\/680bb7745c85e13efde05678\/1745598324130\/HHS+FY26+Budget+Proposal+Letter+to+HAC+SAC+LHHS+Leaders+FINAL_4.25.25.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">530 health<\/a> associations that have signed a petition asking lawmakers to reject the proposed H.H.S. budget, which cuts discretionary spending by about one-third. The signatories said the cuts would \u201ceffectively devastate\u201d the nation\u2019s research and public health infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The budget also proposes dismantling disease registries and surveillance systems. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf you don\u2019t collect the information or keep these surveillance systems going, you don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening, you don\u2019t know what the trends are,\u201d said Dr. Philip Huang, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services in Texas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou\u2019re losing all of that history,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a previous position as director of chronic diseases for Texas, Dr. Huang said he worked closely with C.D.C. experts who successfully reduced tobacco use among Americans. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEliminating the Office on Smoking and Health is just craziness if you\u2019re still wanting to address chronic diseases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Smoking is still the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, causing more than 480,000 deaths each year, according to the C.D.C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">More than one in 10 American adults still smoke cigarettes regularly, but rates vary drastically by region, and C.D.C. surveillance helps target cessation programs to areas where they are needed most.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSmoking rates have come down, but if the federal government takes its foot off the gas, the tobacco companies are ready to pop back up again,\u201d said Erika Sward, assistant vice president for advocacy at the American Lung Association.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She warned that tobacco companies are constantly developing new products like nicotine pouches, whose <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamanetworkopen\/fullarticle\/2833331?utm_campaign=articlePDF&amp;utm_medium=articlePDFlink&amp;utm_source=articlePDF&amp;utm_content=jamanetworkopen.2025.6739&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9jV5x6fGUuUIffMIxe15Adcj5926van50gK5pGOSyyMdtPgvuvuQwsY-1K_w6Su38WQfdlR0L2PBOON53YEAMM79Hslw&amp;_hsmi=359348661\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">use by teenagers doubled last year<\/a>. \u201cIt will take a lot more money to put the genie back in the bottle,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The C.D.C.\u2019s chronic disease center works with communities and academic centers to promote effective programs, from creating quitting hotlines to reach young Iowans in rural areas to training members of Black churches in Columbia, S.C., to lead exercise and nutrition classes for their congregations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In rural Missouri, dozens of walking trails have been developed in the \u201cboot heel\u201d in the southeastern part of the state, an area with high rates of obesity and diabetes, said Ross Brownson, a public health researcher at Washington University in St. Louis who directs the Prevention Research Center in collaboration with the C.D.C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s strong evidence now that if you change the walkability of a community, people will get more physical activity,\u201d Dr. Brownson said. \u201cThere aren\u2019t going to be health clubs in rural communities, but there is nature and the ability to have walking trails, and land is relatively cheap.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">With C.D.C. support, in Rochester, N.Y., people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing are being trained to lead exercise and wellness programs for other hearing-impaired people who can\u2019t easily participate in other gym classes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In San Diego, researchers are testing ways to protect farm workers from exposure to ultraviolet rays and heat-related illnesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOnce they are up and started, they are community-driven and don\u2019t depend on the government,\u201d said Allison Bay, who recently lost her job managing such projects at the C.D.C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The C.D.C.\u2019s reorganization also eliminated lead poisoning programs.
