Robert F. Kennedy Jr. introduced TreeHouse, an addiction-treatment program in Nashville, and said the presentation was produced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Kennedy said, “I'm Robert F. Kennedy junior, your HHS secretary. I'm here with Brandon Fender and Justin McMillan. These are the cofounders of TreeHouse here in Nashville.” He described the effort as an addiction-treatment program and added, “This is an addiction treatment. I guess you'd call it a facility, but it's really a philosophy.”

A TreeHouse cofounder said the group aims to “change the way addiction is thought about, talked about, understood, and treated on a national level,” and that most people in the room were program graduates. A separate TreeHouse speaker said they were “getting ready to celebrate 10 years of sobriety in a couple weeks” and called the program a solution to addiction-related problems.

The presenters identified Brandon Fender and Justin McMillan as TreeHouse cofounders. Kennedy closed by thanking attendees and saying, “Produced by the US Department of Health and Human Services.”

The remarks consisted of a brief presentation and did not include formal proposals, votes, or requests for city or federal action on the record. The speakers characterized TreeHouse as both a treatment program and a broader philosophy of addiction care and recovery.
