Lisa Edelstein
House Star Lisa Edelstein is leading a new campaign to force politicians to boost world healthcare for mums and babies.
The actress, who plays hospital boss Dr. Lisa Cuddy in the hit TV medical drama, visited party leaders on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. on Thursday (06May10) on behalf of charity Save the Children.
Edelstein called on top politicians to advocate for improved health care for mothers and their children all over the globe.
She used her big day in Washington to launch a national public service campaign, called See Where the Good Goes. The multi-media campaign seeks to show Americans that they can have a significant impact on saving and improving the lives of at-risk children and newborns by supporting the delivery of care through local health workers.
Edelstein lends her voice to a campaign radio public service announcement that profiles a local hero and health worker in Ethiopia, and encourages Americans to do what they can to help the cause.
