Happy National Women’s Checkup Day and National Women’s Health Week! Celebrate by scheduling your annual well-woman visit.
What is a well-woman visit? It’s a checkup and a time to see your health care provider to:
- Discuss your family history, family planning, and personal habits, such as alcohol and tobacco use.
- Get or schedule necessary tests, such as screenings for high blood pressure and cholesterol.
- Set health goals, such as maintaining a healthy weight.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, the well-woman visit is considered a preventive service and is covered by most health plans with no cost to you. Talk about good news! Take advantage of this benefit and pledge to schedule your well-woman visittoday.
And don’t forget to check out our infographic on the well-woman visit and Dr. Nancy C. Lee’s blog post.
