Trump Tells Federal Health Agencies to Pause Communication

Instructions were delivered to the Department of Health and Human Services, including the CDC, FDA and National Institutes of Health, to cease external communications.

January 23, 2025

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump’s administration told federal health agencies to pause external communications, including regular scientific reports, updates to websites, and health advisories, The Washington Post reported. Silencing instructions were delivered to the Department of Health and Human Services, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health, and the Food and Drug Administration.

The agencies make decisions that affect Americans and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers. For example, the pause on communication includes the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), advisories sent out to clinicians on CDC’s health alert network about public health incidents, and data updates to the CDC website, The Washington Post reported. This week alone the CDC was scheduled to release several MMWR reports, including three about bird flu, the news agency said.

Health officials weren’t clear if ceasing external communications included urgent communications, such as foodborne disease outbreaks, new bird flu cases, and drug approvals. Sources also weren’t sure how long the break in communication would last.

Join Cleanfax on Tuesday, Feb. 11, for an exciting webinar topic: The Ultimate Exit Plan: Strategies to Assess, Enhance, and Maximize the Value of Your Company.

The value of your cleaning or restoration company is more than a numbers game. A true business valuation dives deeper, examining your financial performance, operational strengths, market positioning, and the intangible assets that set your company apart—like your brand reputation and customer loyalty.

If you’re thinking about selling, merging, or planning for succession, understanding what adds value to your business—and what can diminish it—is essential.

In this Cleanfax webinar, you’ll uncover the key metrics buyers and investors use to measure a company’s worth, from revenue trends and profit margins to operational efficiency. Learn how external factors like industry shifts, economic conditions, and competition influence your valuation.

This session will empower you with insights to maximize your business’s value and position it for growth, opportunity, or transition. Don’t just guess what your business is worth—know it, own it, and leverage it.

You will leave this webinar armed with these proven strategies:

  • Mastering business valuation: Uncover the critical metrics that define your company’s true market value.
  • Profitability vs. perception: Transform your business into an irresistible investment for potential buyers.
  • Leveraging industry trends: Stay ahead of industry shifts to protect and amplify your company’s valuation.
  • Maximizing sale potential: Take strategic steps to elevate your company’s worth before transitioning.
  • The cost of oversight: Avoid the mistakes that can devalue your business and cost you big.

In addition, the webinar will include a dedicated Q&A session so you can ask your most challenging questions. Bring them and get ready for real answers.

Register today, here! After the live event has ended, you will receive a link to the recorded webinar.
