National Women's Health Week


NWHWBanrHas it been more than a year since you’ve seen your doctor? Visiting the doctor regularly to receive routine care and important screening tests is one step you can take to live a healthier life.
The 11th annual National Women’s Checkup Day is Monday, May 13, during National Women’s Health Week. The Office on Women’s Health encourages women everywhere to participate in National Women’s Checkup Day by: 
  • Contacting your current health care provider to schedule a checkup or visit to get an important screening during the month of May.
  • Talking with your health care professional about which screenings and tests are right for you and when and how often you should have them.
  • Reviewing the list of 22 preventive services for women that insurance companies are required to cover under the Affordable Care Act.
  • Taking the Checkup Day Pledge.
