Grantmakers In Health (GIH) President and CEO Cara V. James was interviewed for an Inside Philanthropy article published on April 30, 2025. The piece outlines philanthropy’s reactions to the sweeping cuts to public health infrastructure in the United States, the consequences of these cuts, and the importance of remaining committed to our values.
“The cuts are extremely disappointing and disheartening, not only because they are really hobbling the ability of [HHS] to do its work, but also, they’re particularly focused in areas supporting vulnerable and underserved communities... At GIH, we remain committed to advancing health equity because I think that our system of health and healthcare should strive to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to be as healthy as possible.”
