She focuses especially on the Foundation’s health programs, including the Clinton Health Access Initiative, which strengthens health care and access to lifesaving services in the developing world; Alliance for a Healthier Generation, which fights childhood obesity in the United States; and Clinton Health Matters Initiative, which addresses preventable disease in the United States.
