read at STAT ↗Neutral
Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appointed eight new members to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, filling vacancies after the panel had not met for more than a year.
The appointees include specialists in clinical nutrition, gastroenterology and oncology, as well as a finance professor with expertise in health insurance, a notable shift from the panel’s traditional generalist makeup.
The broader expertise may shape future assessments of preventive services and could affect insurance coverage decisions for such interventions.
