Every May, starting on Mother’s Day, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health leads National Women’s Health Week (NWHW). This year, the observance runs from May 12th to 18th, focusing on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of women across all stages of life.
Theme: Empowering Women, Cultivating Health: Celebrating Voices, Wellness, and Resilience
This year’s theme is all about encouraging women to take an active role in managing their health. The goal is to highlight the unique health challenges women face and to celebrate the strength and resilience of those who prioritize their health. This observance is a call to action for women to engage in healthy practices, access preventive care, and share their health experiences to empower others.
Join us each day to explore these important topics and take steps towards better health.
3 Ways to Participate in National Women’s Health Week
