In a dramatic move, the Trump administration has carried out extensive layoffs across various federal health agencies, resulting in the termination of hundreds of health workers. Significant cuts have affected the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including the complete dissolution of the Family Planning Office and the elimination of programs specifically catering to LGBTQ+ individuals, teens, and women. Amidst the government shutdown, prominent health figures, including RFK Jr., have also found themselves laying off over 1,000 doctors and scientists, signaling a major retreat from federal health initiatives.
