Tips for Celebrating National Women’s Health Week

Each year, Mother’s Day marks the beginning of National Women’s Health Week. This week is intended to raise awareness about critical women’s health issues, such as the importance of being proactive about your health. You can take control of your own healthcare by asking your doctor about preventive screenings you should have, such as how often you need a Pap test, when you should begin scheduling mammograms, and how often to check your blood pressure. Remember to schedule an annual well-woman exam with your doctor and discuss any concerns you may have.
