National Women's Health week is May 8-14 this year! That means it starts this Sunday (Mother's Day).
During National Women’s Health Week, May 8 - 14, the Office on Women’s Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services challenges women to put their own health at the top of their to-do list — something that women tend to put last, after family, work, and other obligations. May 9 is observed as National Women’s Checkup Day, encouraging women to pledge on that day to call their doctors to schedule physical exams and other health screenings.

- Make an appointment with your doctor
- Arrive at your appointment armed with a list of questions as well as any new concerns that you have recently noticed.
So pick up the phone and make that call — whether it’s on May 9 or any other day, make a commitment to put your health first. Your family and friends will thank you for it!
