LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / January 14, 2025 / In a bold show of unity, the Integrative Providers Association (IPA) and the Coalition For Patient Rights (CPR) and Compassion Center today jointly announced their firm support for the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Citing his relentless advocacy for the environment and his long-standing commitment to public health, both membership organizations believe RFK’s leadership can unify essential reforms in healthcare, environmental stewardship, and social services to “Make America Healthy Again.”
“Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. brings a blend of environmental passion and public-health advocacy that is unprecedented,” said Julie Monteiro, RN, BSK, President of Compassion Center. “Our nation needs leadership who can see the undeniable links between ecological well-being and human health. We couldn’t be more confident in RFK’s ability to steer us in a direction that addresses systemic healthcare challenges while championing patient rights and sustainable development.”
Integrative Providers Association (IPA) is thrilled to endorse RFK Jr. while the Coalition For Patient Rights (CPR) is equally enthusiastic, highlighting how Secretary-designate Kennedy’s proven track record for challenging entrenched systems and inspiring transformative policy can be the change we all need to see. According to James Creel, CPR Board-Secretary, “RFK Jr. has never been afraid to confront powerful interests when the nation’s health and future are at stake. His stewardship at HHS will emphasize transparency, accountability, and patient-focused care, while reinforcing the need for an integrative approach that acknowledges both modern medicine and holistic well-being.”
Together, Compassion Center, IPA and CPR call upon the Senate to swiftly confirm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Our organizations invite their respective memberships, and leadership delegations, along with healthcare advocates everywhere, to contact their Senators and voice support for RFK Jr.’s confirmation, pressing forward his agenda to merge environmental responsibility with patient-centric, accessible healthcare solutions.
“Our membership knows first-hand the urgency of protecting patient rights, cleaning up our environment, and offering comprehensive, integrative and complementary care,” added Jason Greninger, C.S.T., a legislative advocate representing CPR National’s Board of Trustees and the Integrative Providers Association’s Advocacy Division. “We believe Secretary-designate Kennedy embodies the leadership we’ve been longing for-someone who will unify the mission of compassion, science, and sustainability all under one roof.”
