IHPC Issues Policy Recommendations to Make America Healthy Again Commission
IHPC Submits Landmark Policy Recommendations to MAHA Commission in Response to Children’s Health Crisis
Washington, D.C. — September 13, 2025
In a major development for national health policy, the Integrative Health Policy Consortium (IHPC) has submitted a sweeping set of recommendations to the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, chaired by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The submission responds directly to the Commission’s 2025 Children’s Health Assessment Report, which revealed that over 40% of American children now live with at least one chronic condition.
The Integrative Policy Consortium’s Submission
The IHPC urged the Commission to take bold action in four key areas: (1) Inclusion, (2) Research, (3) Prevention, (4) Legislative and Executive Action.
The IHPC’s submission also includes a detailed analysis of the economic and health burdens posed by environmental toxins such as lead, arsenic, bisphenols, and PFAS (“forever chemicals”), which disproportionately affect children and underserved communities in a newly released white paper titled “The Public Health Threat of Pollutant Exposure”.
