National Women's Health Week

Saturday, March 1, 2003

2003 National Women’s Health Week (NAPSA)—By setting aside a few days to focus on your health, you might find ways to add a few years to your life. A great time to start is during National Women’s Health Week, held this year from May11-17. Health fairs and forums will help celebrate National Women’s Health Week. One of the most important steps you can take for better health is to get regular check-ups and ask your doctor or health clinic about screenings for heart disease, diabetes, cancer and sex- ually transmitted diseases. Your doctor can tell you which screenings are appropriate for your age andlifestyle. On May 12, community health centers, hospitals and other health providers across America will recognize National Women’s CheckUp Dayby offering screenings (some free) and other services. Throughout the week, health fairs and forums are scheduled around the country to encourage women to adopt healthierlifestyles.
