Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra is among federal officials weighing in on the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd. We at the Department of Health and Human Services stand with marginalized communities to provide support and do our part to ensure that health and well-being are treated as a right and our systems are actively furthering justice, Becerra said. We must meet the challenge to further justice and equity. At HHS, I will do everything I can to tackle racism as a serious public health threat that affects our mental and physical well-being.
