National Women’s Health Week
MAY 14-20, 2017

Dear Colleague,

National Women’s Health Week is May 14-20.  We hope you are working to highlight this week and the importance of women focusing on their health and wellbeing.   Please take advantage of the resources and information listed on the National Women’s Health Week Website and the linked Toolkit, Slides and Talking Points for health professionals.

National Women’s Health Week is led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office on Women’s Health (OWH). The 18th annual observance kicks off on Mother’s Day, May 14, and is celebrated through May 20, 2017. National Women’s Health Week encourages women to make their health a priority and reminds them to take steps for better health at every age. HHS OWH encourages women to:

• Visit a doctor or nurse for a well-woman visit (checkup) and preventive screenings.
• Get active.
• Eat healthy.
• Pay attention to mental health, including getting enough sleep and managing stress.
• Avoid unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking, texting while driving, and not wearing a seatbelt or bicycle helmet.
