Episode Details

Senator Katie Britt champions the Womens Heart Health Expansion Act, aiming to provide free cardiovascular risk screenings to low-income and underinsured women in Alabama, a state with the highest heart-related deaths. The bill, if passed, would allocate $250 million to expand the CDCs Wisewoman program, focusing on high-risk groups like Black women and those in rural areas. Dr. Nicole Lohr emphasizes the importance of tracking key health numbers, including blood pressure, cholesterol, and obesity, to prevent heart issues. The bill is currently in Congress and could launch by October.
