First Lady Jill Biden will visit Illinois Thursday to attend a Chicago event as part of the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research, a press release said.
Biden is expected to land at O'Hare International Airport at 12:45 p.m., according to the White House. At 1:30 p.m., she will travel to the University of Illinois Chicago to attend the event, which is meant to highlight "the importance of advancing research on mesopause and women's health," the release said.
