wcvb.com —
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey reaffirmed her commitment to quality health care for residents, regardless of who leads the Department of Health and Human Services. This statement follows the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by President-elect Donald Trump. Health care experts met in Boston to discuss cost pressures and the future of health care after the 2024 election. Kennedy's views on vaccines and fluoride have raised concerns among some health leaders. It remains uncertain if Trump's nominees will go through the usual Senate confirmation process. Healey also addressed the recent closures of Carney Hospital and Nashoba Valley Medical Center, emphasizing her administration's focus on supporting affected communities.
