National Women’s Health Week is observed each year, starting on Mother’s Day, to encourage women and girls to take care of their physical and mental health.
The observance, which runs from May 9 through May 15 this year, is led by the HHS’ Office on Women’s Health.
The CDC and HHS shared steps that women and girls can take to improve their health, including:
- attending regular health screenings and exams;
- exercising and maintaining a balanced diet;
- prioritizing mental health and managing stress with healthy coping mechanisms;
- following a consistent sleep routine of at least 7 hours; and
- protecting themselves and their community from COVID-19 by maintaining social distancing and receiving a vaccine.
