Spread the Word – 7 Easy Ways to Tell Your Friends

The goal of National Women's Health Week is to encourage women to take simple steps for a longer, healthier, and happier life. The Week runs from May 9-15, 2004, and kicks off with National Women's Check-Up Day on May 10, to encourage women to schedule an appointment with their doctor or other health care provider for an annual check-up and health screenings. Gaining support from as many women and groups as possible is crucial to the success of the Week. Help us spread the word using the tools below.
