Bienvenido USA Applauds First Lady Melania Trump's Leadership to Advance Women's Health
Bienvenido USA applauds the women's health initiative spearheaded by First Lady Melania Trump and formalized through an executive order signed by President Donald J. Trump.
The order establishes a White House Women's Health Task Force, co-chaired by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and directs the creation of a Women's Health Division within the National Institutes of Health.
Bienvenido supports the First Lady's five priorities: directing research funding toward diseases that uniquely affect women, using advanced technology to accelerate discoveries, bringing safe treatments to patients sooner, ensuring affordable access, and encouraging open conversation and education.
Statement from Betty Cardenas, Chief Operating Officer of Bienvenido USA:
“As a woman and a mother, I know how often we put everyone else’s needs before our own. We push through pain, postpone appointments, and tell ourselves we can wait. I am grateful to First Lady Melania Trump for championing this investment. Every woman deserves to be heard, to get answers, and to receive the care she needs.”
Every woman deserves answers, effective treatments, and the opportunity to live a healthy, full life. Hispanic women are part of that promise. Bienvenido proudly supports the First Lady's call to prioritize research funding and turn medical discoveries into accessible, affordable care for women of every background, at every stage of life.
