First lady Jill Biden
SAN FRANCISCO - First Lady Jill Biden is coming to San Francisco this week for women's health initiatives.
Dr. Biden is expected to arrive at San Francisco International Airport Monday afternoon and will stay through Wednesday. She is traveling to the Bay as part of the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research.
Dr. Biden is joining Fierce JPM Week on Tuesday to discuss the importance of advancing women's health research.
The initiative was launched in November 2023 by President Joe Biden and Dr. Biden with the goal of changing how the U.S. approaches and funds research on women's health, the White House said on their website.
"Women are over half the population, but research on women's health has always been underfunded and under-studied," according to the initiative.
