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.
During #NationalNursesWeek , we honor the dedication of all nurses & reaffirm our commitment to ensuring you have the support and resources you need to continue your work!
To all of our IndianHealthService nurses serving across Tribal communities: thank you for your service!
It was an honor to join the Stanford Law School Alumni event!
Law schools realize that legal education is about more than teaching case law-it's also about helping students become capable & confident professionals.
Our HHS lawyers are crucial to protecting the health of all Americans!
We have paws on the ground to expand President Biden’ mental health agenda and services across our nation! 🐾
