Mark Del Monte

Mark Del Monte is the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), an organization representing 67,000 pediatricians in the United States. He has been vocal in advocating for children's health and has been involved in significant public health initiatives, including those addressing issues like sudden infant death syndrome, autism, and access to healthcare for children. Recently, Del Monte was in the news due to the termination of several federal grants to the AAP by the Department of Health and Human Services, which he stated would adversely impact vital health programs for children across the country.
