Today, on the 58th anniversary of Griswold v. Connecticut, a foundational decision in the right to contraception, the Biden Administration continues its commitment to protecting women’s access to health care & fundamental freedoms–including contraception. bit.ly/3MYdx8U
“As women’s access to essential health care and their fundamental freedoms are under attack across the nation, we stand firm in our commitment to defending access to health care – including reproductive health care. No one should be denied care because of who they are.” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra

Be air aware: Check the Air Quality Index (AQI) at AirNow.gov and adjust your outdoor activities to reduce your exposure to harmful air pollutants. Enjoy the outdoors when the air is healthy. Stay inside as much as possible when it's not.
How do I get information about air quality where I live? Each day, you can find out what the air quality is like by checking the Air Quality Index (AQI) for where you live. The AQI tells you when high levels of air pollution are predicted for the day. You can use that information to plan for safe and healthy physical activity. Good Moderate Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups* Unhealthy Very Unhealthy Hazardous * Sensitive groups include people who have asthma, heart disease, or COPD. Checking the AQI is easy — anyone can do it! Look up the AQI online Sign up to get email or text AQI alerts

“Eye” joined elementary school students in DC as they tried on their new glasses for the first time! Every child, in every school, everywhere in the country should benefit from age-appropriate screening and have access to quality services to support good eye health.
