Inspiring Better Health for Women
National Women’s Health Week is May 12 – 18, 2019, and encourages women to take steps for better health. This observance is led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office on Women’s Health (OWH), and starts on Mother’s Day each year. This year marks 20 years of motivating women to put their health first and make healthy choices a part of their daily life. Healthy choices such as not smoking (or quitting), getting regular physical activity, avoiding alcohol or limiting the amount, and protecting skin from UV rays can help lower the risk of many cancers that affect women. Knowing your family health history can help you find out if you have a higher risk of cancer and when to start screenings. Take the first step by visiting the doctor for a checkup and getting up-to-date on recommended cancer screenings.
