Women’s Heart Health Expansion Act of 2026

This bill rewrites the federal law for the WISEWOMAN program, which works alongside the federal breast and cervical cancer screening grant program. It lets the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention give extra grants to current grant recipients to provide preventive services such as blood pressure and cholesterol screenings and health education. Grant-funded projects would also refer women for medical treatment, arrange follow-up care when practicable, and monitor program activities. Eligibility would include women already served by the cancer screening program and other low-income women who meet criteria set by the Secretary. The bill authorizes $250 million in total for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
