These include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration. Associated Press It has been reported.
The email will be sent to the “wide population of HHS employees” and arrive a few days before you have to report it to the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The HHS is one of the more expensive agencies in the government, with an annual budget of $1.7 trillion, which was primarily spent on Medicare and Medicaid services, the AP said.
