States would get federal money to improve women's health services and education.
This bill would set aside money for states to create or improve offices focused on women's health. These offices would educate the public, coordinate services, and address health issues like maternal mortality. They would also work to tackle problems like housing and food insecurity that affect women's health.
Currently, there is no specific federal grant program to help states fund offices focused on women's health. If this bill passes, the Public Health Service Act would be changed. It would create a new grant program. This program would give money to eligible states to set up or keep running State offices of women's health. These offices would work to improve women's health through education, coordinated services, and addressing social factors that affect health.
