The Public Health Impacts of the 2025 Executive Orders: An Overview of the Network’s Executive Order Tracker
2026-03-26 10:00 - 11:00
The past year was filled with federal actions that greatly impacted public health, both in the traditional sense and through a broader Health in All Policies lens. From funding cuts to the destabilization of long-trusted public health institutions, 2025 was a notable year for public health. Federal executive orders issued throughout 2025 were no exception.
Information on the federal executive orders issued throughout 2025 was often scattered, making it difficult to appreciate the overall impact of these federal actions and related policies on public health.
The Network’s newly created resource, Executive Order Watch: Public Health Impact of the 2025 Federal Executive Orders, helps bridge this gap by providing an at-a-glance overview of the 2025 executive orders. Though not exhaustive, the wide range of topics—from climate to vaccines to the federal workforce—captures the scale of impact across public health.
Join us to learn more about this new resource and the ongoing public health impacts of the 2025 executive orders and related actions in areas including equity, reproductive health, the Federal MAHA initiative, immigration, and voting.
