U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has convened patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and advocates for two Long COVID roundtables — one centered on patient experiences and one on research.
The event highlighted the Trump Administration's commitment to tackling "invisible illnesses" that impact millions of Americans."This was not a listening session — it was an action session," Secretary Kennedy said. "We are driving solutions to diagnose, prevent, and treat Long COVID, and we stand with the patients and families whose lives it has disrupted. Today's steps mark the start of a sustained national effort. By listening to patients and working with advocates and clinicians, we will bring invisible illnesses out of the shadows and restore hope to those affected."
