Secretary Kennedy Enhances Management Team to Accelerate President Trump’s Priorities and MAHA Agenda

Today, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced several enhancements to his management team at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to accelerate adoption of President Trump's Great Healthcare Plan and the Make America Healthy Again agenda.

As part of these changes, Chris Klomp will become Chief Counselor at HHS and oversee all operations of the Department. Chris brings decades of management and leadership experience to the role. In addition, Secretary Kennedy has named Kyle Diamantas and Grace Graham as Senior Counselors for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and John Brooks as Senior Counselor for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Each of these individuals will continue to serve in their current roles in addition to serving in Secretary Kennedy's office.

"In just over a year, we have driven historic progress on President Trump's health care priorities and delivered real, measurable change," said Secretary Kennedy. "We are restoring accountability, challenging entrenched interests, and putting the health of the American people first. I am proud to elevate battle-tested, principled leaders onto my immediate team-individuals with the courage and experience to help us move faster and go further as we work to Make America Healthy Again."
