WASHINGTON \u2014\u00a0Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has abruptly canceled a meeting of a key expert panel that evaluates the nation\u2019s preventive care recommendations, according to an email viewed by STAT. The email did not cite a reason.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cancellation of the Thursday meeting of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force comes just a couple of weeks after<\/a> the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the secretary\u2019s authority over the panel, potentially paving the way for Kennedy to reject certain recommendations or reconstitute it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving forward, HHS looks forward to engaging with the Task Force to promote the health and well-being of the American people,\u201d HHS wrote in a short email sent to people planning to attend the July meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
