First lady Jill Biden will visit Patrick Space Force Base on Monday to meet with military spouses and families, White House officials announced.

Biden and Veteran Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough’s trip to the Space Coast will cap a two-day swing through the Sunshine State, according to News 6 partner Florida Today.

The first lady will promote the White House’s Joining Forces initiative during her Patrick Space Force Base visit. Joining Forces focuses on families of service members and veterans, caregivers and survivors in three areas: employment and entrepreneurship; military child education; and health and well-being, according to the program’s website.

Biden and McDonough arrived in Florida on Sunday night at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

Monday morning, the duo will speak at a cancer survivorship summit hosted by U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Davie.

White House officials have not released logistical details of Biden’s visit to the Space Coast.
