WASHINGTON — Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and many top deputies are scheduled to speak alongside industry executives and health activists at a daylong MAHA event on Wednesday that has not been publicly disclosed by administration officials or event organizers.
The event, called the MAHA Summit, will take place at the gilded Waldorf Astoria hotel in Washington. The agenda, obtained by STAT, includes the most powerful health officials across the federal government: CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, acting CDC Director and HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill, Medicare Director Chris Klomp, White House artificial intelligence czar David Sacks — and even Vice President JD Vance.
They plan to talk to industry and MAHA leaders about a wide range of high-priority issues, from the future of the FDA and NIH to artificial intelligence in health care, biotech development, GLP-1s, and food as medicine. Those in attendance will also be able to take advantage of “exclusive networking” with the powerful leaders, according to a copy of the invite viewed by STAT.
