| (L-R) HRSA Administrator Carole Johnson, HHS Deputy Secretary Andrea Palm, and HAB Associate Administrator Dr. Laura Cheever Dr. Laura Cheever received a hero's sendoff on Monday after a quarter-century in the HIV/AIDS Bureau. Lauded as an exemplar of public service, she was recruited by the agency in 1998 at the dawn of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program -- for which she served as an advisor as a young infectious disease fellow at John Hopkins University in Baltimore. She departs having led the bureau to a record-breaking achievement: success in bringing more than nine out of 10 patients in the program to a state of viral suppression, meaning they can live normal and healthier lives without fear of transmitting the disease.  HRSA Administrator Carole Administrator visited Community of Hope, a HRSA-funded health center in Washington, DC, as the final stop of the national Enhancing Maternal Health Initiative tour. During this visit, Johnson conducted a roundtable convening of women and families served by HRSA programs, community health centers, HRSA-supported community-based organizations and health care providers.  HRSA launched several new web pages and features this week to help people find health services supported by HRSA. - New HRSA Homepage – links to our consumer-focused health services
- En Español Landing Page – offers Spanish versions of our consumer-focused health services and a new glossary page
