We're innovating to change how we treat cancer and working with global partners, like Croatia, to end cancer as we know it.

Glad to join Ambassador Nathalie Rayes, Prefect Kolar, and Beth Wild at the construction site of the new UPMC Hillman Cancer Center at Zabok Hospital.

We remember the 19 children and two educators killed two years ago today in the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Guns are the number one killer of children and teens in America. That needs to change.

We must – it’s a public health crisis.

Under President Biden' leadership, more people have health coverage than under any previous president.

This Administration will redouble our efforts to make sure every person in America can go to the doctor & afford the care that'll keep them healthy.

When President Biden took office in 2021, the overdose death rate was increasing 31% year-over-year.

Yesterday, we announced that drug overdose deaths fell 3% over the past year—the first decline in more than five years.

This new data confirms that our efforts are driving results.

As we reflect on the 25th anniversary of White House Initiative on AA and NHPIs–we celebrate generations of work that have been done to uplift AA and NHPI families.

The Biden-Harris Administration believes that people from all backgrounds deserve opportunities to build generational health.

I celebrated with a visit to LCH Health and Community Services in Kennett Square with HHS.gov Secretary Xavier Becerra. We toured the facility and attended a listening session with nurses, staff, and administrators on the Inflation Reduction Act and its many cost-saving provisions.

This Mother's Day, I'm thankful for my own mom, an immigrant from Mexico who taught me the power of belief, for my wife who works every day to keep other mothers safe as a high-risk OB-GYN, and for all the moms who have protected & nurtured their families.

Happy Mother’s Day! ❤️
