Biden joined the Milken Institute's 28th annual Global Conference in Beverly Hills, California, Monday. Other notable guests who addressed the conference included Trump administration Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Trump administration Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz, the Los Angeles Daily News reported.
Biden's new role serving as chair of the Milken Institute's initiative will focus on "galvanizing participation, collaboration, and shared action in the Women’s Health Network to improve women’s health and wellbeing," according to the think tank's press release announcing the former first lady's new role.
Former President Joe Biden signed a presidential memorandum in 2023 that launched the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research. Jill Biden led the White House initiative, which worked to beef up funding for and research into women's health.
The Biden White House argued at the time that "TOO MANY medical studies have focused on men and left women out" and that too many of "the medicine dosages, treatments, medical school text books, are based on men and their bodies – and that information doesn’t always apply to women."

Jill Biden worked as a professor at Northern Virginia Community College from 2009 to December 2024, when she announced she wrapped up her final semester as her husband prepared for his Oval Office exit.
Jill Biden's new role comes as political books recapping the Biden administration hit bookshelves nationwide, with several reporting that concerns over the president's mental acuity and age had gripped the administration across its four years.
The book "2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America," for example, is set to be released in July and authored by three reporters from the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and Washington Post, and reportedly details how Biden's team chose not to have the president take a cognitive test in February 2024 due to concerns that taking the test itself would raise more questions about his age.

Another book, Chris Whipple's "Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History," reported that White House staffers allegedly kept Biden from socializing with others, including close allies and friends, out of fear the 46th president "might say the wrong thing or might feed the mental acuity narrative."
