This bill reauthorizes and expands the WISEWOMAN program, a federal initiative that provides preventive health services to women. The legislation authorizes $250 million in funding over five years (fiscal years 2027-2031) for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to award grants that expand screening and prevention services beyond the program's current scope. The expanded services will include blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, health education, and medical referrals for treatment, with particular focus on low-income women. The bill allows both existing breast and cervical cancer screening organizations and other approved entities to deliver these services, ensuring broader access to preventive care for women's heart health.
