A group of more than 40 organizations is urging Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reinstate staff who were purged at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
In a letter sent to Kennedy on Friday, first shared with CQ Roll Call, the groups voice concerns that purging the center’s staff will impact the administration’s ability to carry out injury and domestic violence prevention programs.
The letter was signed by a host of domestic violence prevention and health groups, including the Action Alliance, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychological Association.
