National Women’s Health Week 2007: How To Help Yourself and Other Women Achieve Better Health Year Round

National Women’s Health Week encourages women to take simple steps for a longer, healthier, and happier life. The theme for National Women’s Health Week 2007 is “It’s Your Time: Pamper Your Mind, Body and Spirit.” During the week, families, communities, businesses, government, health organizations and other groups work together to:

• Celebrate the extraordinary progress in women’s health

• Bring attention to and create understanding of women’s health issues

• Encourage women to get regular check-ups

• Educate women about steps they can take to improve their physical and mental health and prevent disease

When women take even the simplest steps to improve their health, the results can be significant. But women need to be able to choose the most effective steps for their individual lifestyles and circumstances. They need to be informed and take responsible actions to improve their own health.
