💨 Abstract

The article discusses the significant impact of federal budget cuts on public health departments across the U.S. under the Trump administration. These cuts, amounting to $11 billion and 20,000 jobs, threaten essential services like disease monitoring, vaccination programs, and public health education. Key programs, such as mobile clinics and disease intervention teams, have been scaled back or eliminated, leaving communities vulnerable. Experts warn that these cuts reduce the U.S.
