New funding for women’s health research, $12,000,000,000!
As part of the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research, Joe is calling on Congress to make bold, transformational investments in women’s health research.
Together, we will build a health care system where women aren’t just an after-thought, but an inspiration to build a future where we leave our doctors’ offices with more answers than questions, where medicine meets the needs of everyone, and where no woman or girl has to hear that “it’s all in your head,” ever again.
