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.

Join me in a few moments for a conversation with American Progress about the Inflation Reduction Act’s drug pricing policies and how these policies are making an impact for your loved ones on Medicare.

In San Francisco, I got a chance to visit Manny’s!, a place for community and for changemakers, to highlight the game-changing three years we’ve had under President Biden.

We’re breaking records with more people covered by health insurance, and we're lowering health care costs.

Behavioral health issues, particularly substance use disorders, are affecting Latino communities profoundly.

I joined Julián Castro at Oakland’s La Clínica de La Raza to discuss mental health, treatment, and support as we wind down our Latino Health Tour of seven cities in seven days.

Days after the Florida ruling, we're facing another attack on reproductive rights with the Arizona Supreme Court upholding a law passed before women even had the right to vote. Essentially a total abortion ban—with no exceptions for rape or incest—the impact will be devastating.

I toured a Career Technical Education facility in a Sacramento high school with Ami Bera, M.D..

The Biden-Harris Administration has made significant investments to grow the health workforce, focus on equity, & take care of the people who take care of us—especially their mental health.

Here to remind you to keep an eye on your health today!

Listen to our friends at NASA and make sure you’re viewing the eclipse safely today⬇️

On World Health Day, we unite with World Health Organization (WHO) and our global community to champion health as a fundamental human right. #MyHealthMyRight encompasses access to quality services, safe environments, and freedom from discrimination.

Together, let's ensure health equity for all. 🌍

I joined Rep. Pete Aguilar at SAC Health – where HHS has invested millions of dollars to help them provide community dental, pediatric, & pharmacy care.

In San Bernadino & across the country, health care is being recognized as a right for all, not just a privilege for the wealthy.
