Tell the Senate to Pass Legislation that Supports Heart Health The House recently passed legislation that makes progress on many WomenHeart priorities – policies that support women’s heart health and women living with or at risk of heart disease. The Build Back Better Act includes paid leave, maternal health provisions and policies to expand access to vaccines and to high quality, affordable health insurance. Take action and tell your Senators to pass this legislation today.
