HHS Declares Public Health Emergencies in Florida and Alabama Following Hurricane Isaias

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has declared public health emergencies in Florida and Alabama. This action, following President Trump's earlier emergency declarations for both states, allows HHS to authorize temporary waivers and modifications of certain requirements to support healthcare providers and ensure continued patient care in the wake of Hurricane Isaias.
