Jan. 28, 2025: Statement of NJHA President & CEO Cathy Bennett on Trump Administration directive pausing federal grants


“The Administration’s memo was broadly drafted so there are many unknowns. The pause could have wide-ranging implications for healthcare from pausing research on cures for childhood cancer, to disrupting programs that advance patient safety and quality of care, to harming social determinants of health by closing homeless shelters, halting transportation assistance or shutting down suicide hotlines. We look forward to clarification about which programs are not subject to the pause.”
