Women’s Heart Health Expansion Act of 2026

This bill, titled the Women's Heart Health Expansion Act of 2026, extends funding and authority for the WISEWOMAN program, which provides preventive health services to women. It authorizes $250 million over five years (2027-2031) for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to award supplemental grants for blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes screenings, along with health education and medical referrals. The program would be administered by existing WISEWOMAN grantees or other healthcare entities serving women eligible under current guidelines or identified as high-risk. Additionally, the bill requires a Government Accountability Office study by September 2027 to evaluate the program's reach, access barriers, and cost-effectiveness in improving cardiovascular health outcomes.
