I'm in Geneva at the 77th World Health Assembly. Our work with World Health Organization (WHO) member states brought us through a pandemic. We can create more solutions for better health for all by working together.
Looking forward to continuing the conversations on improving global health. #WHA77
On Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation and the freedoms we hold dear.

I was honored to meet with Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and members of his cabinet.
The U.S. and Croatia share connections on a host of issues, especially in health. I look forward to working closely together to improve access to health and health care.
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 #EndGunViolence – it’s a public health crisis.
Stopped by UCSF Fresno Residency labs with Rep. Jim Costa today!
Collaborative efforts are essential to develop strategies that will strengthen the health workforce & improve health outcomes.
We are committed to supporting, valuing, & fairly compensating the health workforce.
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.
Following President Biden’ lead, HHS has made historic investments and undertaken historic work to help Americans get the mental health care they need.
We are committed to transforming & integrating behavioral health into our communities and to putting people at the center of their care.
A few weeks ago I sat down with Alexis Alemán & Irvin Garcia, two first generation medical school students!
We discussed access to care for the Latino community, why representation matters in our health care system & more! #FoosInMedicine

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. #LastingLegacies
I celebrated #NationalNursesWeek 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.
In honor of #NationalNursesWeek , Chrissy Houlahan and I joined nurses from LCH Health and Community Services to highlight how President Biden' Inflation Reduction Act is lowering health care costs, like capping insulin at $35 a month.
Together, we're building a health care system that works for everyone.
