THE PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACT OF THE 2025 FEDERAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS
January 30, 2026
by Naisha Mercury, Phyllis Jeden, Emma Kaeser, and Nina BelforteOverview
Federal policies shape the environments that determine whether people and communities can live healthy lives. Since Donald Trump
took office for his second term as president on January 20, 2025, he has signed a series of Executive Orders (EOs), many of which
impact public health.
The Network has created an EO tracker which compiles the 2025 EOs most relevant to the public health space through a lens of Health in All Policies (HiAP). Inclusion in this tracker is not exhaustive, and content may be updated or revised as additional Executive Orders are issued or identified.
