The National Medical Association stands firm: stability and transparency at the CDC are non-negotiable.
When our nation’s leading public health agency is in turmoil, every community is affected. Oversight and accountability are essential to restore trust and ensure the CDC can fulfill its mission to protect the health of the American people.
It’s time for Congress to act.

Every day in America, people are killed by a gun and more are injured. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children and teens, surpassing motor vehicle crashes.
The impact is not only measured in lives lost but also in the long-lasting trauma felt by families and entire communities.
As physicians and advocates, the National Medical Association (NMA) affirms that gun violence is not just a criminal justice issue, it is a public health emergency. Addressing it requires data-driven prevention strategies, equitable health policies, and community-centered solutions.
We stand committed to advancing research, strengthening gun safety laws, and supporting interventions that protect the health and future of Black communities and all Americans.
Health professionals must raise their voices. Together, we can turn tragedy into action.
