Jill Biden will be participating in a roundtable at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
AURORA, Colo. — First lady Jill Biden will visit the Denver metro area this weekend, the White House said on Thursday.
Biden will arrive in Denver on Friday night before participating in an event at noon Saturday at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. She is set to deliver remarks and join in a roundtable discussion as part of the White House Initiative on Women’s Health.
President Joe Biden and Jill Biden launched the initiative last November with the goal of changing how the U.S. approaches and funds research on women’s health.
“Together, we will build a health-care system that puts women and their lived experiences at its center,” Jill Biden said, according to a news release. “Where no woman or girl has to hear that ‘it’s all in your head,’ or ‘it’s just stress.’ Where women aren’t just an afterthought but a first-thought. Where women don’t just survive with chronic conditions but lead long and healthy lives.”
The visit is part of a four-day trip that also includes stops in Minneapolis and Nashville, Tennessee.
