Today, joined by HHS OCR and White House Gender Policy Council, I’ll be discussing a major update regarding privacy and reproductive rights as part of President Biden’ efforts to protect access to reproductive health care.

As we get ready to celebrate #EarthDay on Monday, HHS remains steadfast in our commitment to tackling the climate crisis with urgency – because human health and our beautiful planet (like these flowers by my office!) depend on it.

.President Biden’ Budget invests $150B over 10 years to improve and expand Medicaid home and community-based services, allowing older Americans and people with disabilities to remain in their homes & stay active in their communities and improving jobs for home care workers. #CareWeek

When I’m asked if the U.S. is prepared for another pandemic, the short answer is yes, we are definitely more prepared.

I joined Semafor’s World Economy Summit to discuss HHS’ work – from making sure the domestic supply chain can withstand disruption to Project NextGen vaccines.

We believe every American deserves access to the quality care and support essential for their wellbeing.

Care & care work are needed in every community. We won’t stop until those receiving care & providing care, have everything they need. bit.ly/4aWmwBN #CareWeek

One year ago today, President Biden issued the most comprehensive Executive Order on care in history. We’re launching #CareWeek to highlight our work on care and the real-life impact it’s having.

We won’t stop until those receiving care, and those providing it, have everything they need.

Looking forward to joining Semafor tomorrow to discuss how the Biden-Harris Administration is working with partners around the world to prevent, detect, and stop outbreaks faster.

At 2 pm ET, I will testify in front of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health on the President’s Fiscal Year 2025 Health and Human Services Budget. You can stream it live here: energycommerce.house.gov/events/health-…

Under President Biden' budget, we aren't just talking about tackling the maternal health crisis, we're backing it up with some serious investments.

As we continue to observe Black Maternal Health Week, drawing attention to these potentially life-saving initiatives is critical.

Strengthening global health security is a national security priority, and is essential to protect the health, lives, and economic well-being of the American people.

President Biden is delivering on his commitment to protect the American people from the next pandemic.

The Global Health Security Strategy will strengthen our public health systems, prioritize global health and develop systems to prevent, detect, and fight every kind of biological danger – including infectious disease threats.

The budget proposed by President Biden doesn’t just protect Medicare, it strengthens it beyond our lifetime.

It provides Medicaid-like coverage to another 1.5M individuals in states that haven't expanded it.

I'm proud to continue testifying to Congress on behalf of this budget.

At 10am ET, I will testify in front of the Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee on the President’s Fiscal Year 2025 Health and Human Services Budget. You can stream it live here: appropriations.senate.gov/hearings/a-rev…

I traveled the country with one clear message: Latino health matters.

Viajé por todo el país con un claro mensaje: la salud latina es nuestro deber.

Equity must be central to our efforts to improve maternal health—particularly in addressing disparities experienced by Black mothers. Today, during Black Maternal Health Week, HHS hosted our 2nd annual Black Maternal Health Outcomes Matter event to discuss our actions & strategy.

Black & Latino Medicare enrollees struggle to afford their prescription drugs at rates up to 2x higher than white enrollees.

For National Minority Health Month, I sat down with American Progress to talk about how President Biden’ drug pricing reform is helping to reduce these health disparities.

Dr. Francis Collins, Director emeritus of NIH, launched perhaps the most consequential endeavor of his life: his own fight against cancer. My bet is he will overcome this latest challenge.

Dr. Collins, we wish you a steady return to full health. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04…

I joined @AboutKP’s Health Action Summit in DC to discuss actionable strategies we can use to advance the Food is Medicine movement.

Thanks to President Biden’ National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health – and help from our partners – solving malnutrition is within our reach.

Our research found that Black, Latino, and Asian Medicare enrollees paid a total of about $24.8M in out-of-pocket costs for Part D covered vaccines in 2021. Now, with President Biden’ lower cost drug law, they would pay $0.

I talked all things health equity today with American Progress.

To critically improve how care is provided in this country, the experiences of caregivers must be better understood. Thanks to President Biden, caregivers are finally being heard.

Today, the The White House hosted a convening for Care Workers Recognition Month & our Month of Action on Care.
