Time to Make Women’s Health a Priority
Calling all women!
As we join in the National Women’s Health Week celebration May 8-14, we’re calling on all women to take steps to take care of themselves.
Specifically, we invite women to come to Swope Health Services for a well-woman checkup and preventive screenings.
SHS also supports healthier lifestyles through our Women, Infants and Children (WIC), OB/GYN, nutrition and mental health programs. SHS wants to help women understand they can take steps for better health at any age.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health, the week-long celebration includes a challenge pledge to be as healthy as you can. The pledge includes a checklist of healthy tips for women at any age.
The campaign also invites women to spread the word on social media using the hashtag #NWHW. We welcome your input in our comments box, below.
This is a great time to empower yourself and take steps for better health.

I like your suggestion to schedule a well-woman visit where we get tested for things like high blood pressure and cholesterol. I’ve been thinking a lot about staying healthy as I age ever since I have my birthday last month. Thanks for sharing this guide I can use when I contact a general practitioner in my area to schedule a wellness visit soon.
