National Women's Check-Up Day

Save the Date!

Monday, May 10, 2004—the day after Mother's Day—is National Women's Check-Up Day, the highlight of National Women's Health Week.

Block the date in your Outlook calendar … and your PDA … circle it on your calendar at home … e-mail it to all the women you care about.

Why?

One of the most important steps a woman can take for better health is to get regular check-ups and ask her health care provider about screenings for heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and sexually transmitted diseases.

On National Women's Check-Up Day, participating community health centers, hospitals, and other health care providers across America will offer these preventive health screenings and other health services.

How can I get involved?

Women should schedule an appointment with their existing health care provider or a participating health care organization or provider.
