The Women's Heart Health Expansion Act of 2024 reauthorizes and expands the WISEWOMAN program, a federal initiative that provides preventive health services to women. The bill authorizes grants to expand cardiovascular screening services, including blood pressure and cholesterol testing and health education, along with medical referrals and follow-up care for eligible women. The program targets low-income women and will be administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The legislation authorizes $250 million in funding over five fiscal years, from 2025 through 2029, to support these expanded preventive health services across the country.
