Promote National Women's Health Week, May 9-15
The Nation will celebrate National Women's Health Week
during May 9-15,
2004, and its signature event, National Women's
Check-Up Day, will be
held on May 10, 2004. Led by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human
Services (HHS), this celebration complements and
supports local, state,
and national efforts to help all women take advantage
of important
preventive healthcare services and furthers the
President's long-range
initiative to expand healthcare services for people
without health
insurance through local health centers.
HHS hopes to expand the impact of National Women's
Health Week this year,
by inviting you, your agency or organization, and
others across the
nation to become National Women's Check-Up Day
providers or host an event
during the week. As a provider, you would agree to
provide or make
appointments to provide preventive health services to
women on May 10.
Services could include blood pressure checks, pap
tests, mammograms,
diabetes tests, HIV/AIDS tests, and other health
screenings. As an event
host, you would agree to host an event in your
community during the week
of May 9-15 to improve understanding and awareness of
women's health
issues. All providers and event hosts will be listed
on the National
Women's Health Information Center website and may
order free promotional
and educational materials at www.4woman.gov/whw, while
supplies last.
To sign up as a National Women's Check-Up Day provider
or as an event
host, please complete the form located at
www.4woman.gov/whw/2004/Make-it-happen/ no later than
February 15, 2004.
Thank you for your interest. Your organization's
ability to engage
hard-to-reach populations and your experience in
health issues will be
very important to our success.
