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.

This Mother's Day, I'm thankful for my own mom, an immigrant from Mexico who taught me the power of belief, for my wife who works every day to keep other mothers safe as a high-risk OB-GYN, and for all the moms who have protected & nurtured their families.

Happy Mother’s Day! ❤️

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.

I visited Lolita Owens, who has been a caregiver for seniors & people with disabilities, like Katrina Francis, for 20+ years.

People like Lolita are often the backbone of this critical but challenging work.

To all the caregivers out there: We see you & we appreciate you!

Existe una enfermedad llamada gripe aviar que normalmente existe en las aves, pero que a veces infecta a los humanos. Si usted trabaja directamente con animales, tiene un riesgo mayor de contagio.

Si tiene síntomas, vaya a un doctor o a una clínica médica.

There’s a flu that usually exists in birds but sometimes infects humans. If you work directly with animals, you are at higher risk.

If you experience symptoms after contact with an animal, see a health care provider or contact your local community health center.
