WASHINGTON, D.C. — The MAHA Institute, the policy and advocacy organization championing the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, returned to the nation’s capital this past week, building on the momentum from its May 15 launch. Initially unveiled with the release of the highly-anticipated “MAHA Commission Report” led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Institute has begun collaborating directly with federal leaders, Congress, and the White House to drive meaningful health reforms.
Founded to support robust public health improvements, the MAHA Institute works under its “Six Pillars” framework, aiming to amplify state and federal efforts, strengthen policy expertise, and highlight health policy victories alongside President Donald Trump’s administration. It also seeks to promote transparency, accountability, and sustainable innovation within the healthcare system.
“We have a situation now where we have amazing leadership at the federal health agencies,” stated Co-President Mark Gorton. “But the number of actual, true MAHA supporters at the top of these agencies is maybe 75 people across an HHS that has 60,000 employees. And their job is unbelievably daunting because these bureaucracies are highly resistant to change.”
The MAHA Institute focuses on pressing health crises, including tackling chronic disease, ensuring affordable healthy food, improving agricultural standards, and increasing vaccine safety and transparency. The organization draws strength from the diverse expertise of its leadership team, including Co-Presidents Tony Lyons and Mark Gorton, as well as prominent figures like Mary Holland of Children’s Health Defense and Zen Honeycutt of Moms Across America.
Since its inception, the Institute has been driven by grassroots engagement, boasting over 110,000 supporters and a wealth of policy proposals. With a goal of aligning national health policies with American principles, the MAHA Institute continues to forge a path toward a healthier nation through collaboration and expert advocacy.
