The Great American State Fair in Washington wraps up this week. During its two-week run, the programming included two “MAHA Mondays,” which featured speakers and administration officials representing the Make America Healthy Again movement.
STAT Washington correspondent Chelsea Cirruzzo and I stopped by the second MAHA Monday earlier this week. We spoke with Health and Human Services senior adviser Calley Means about the event and how health and wellness fits into the American identity. We also spoke with acting Surgeon General Stephanie Haridopolos about a recent surgeon general’s advisory on the harms of screen use.
