Each year the second Monday in May is known as National Women’s Checkup Day.
It’s all part of National Women’s Health Week, which is from May 10 to May 16.
It is a reminder for women and girls to make their health a priority and take care of themselves.
While this year much of the health focus is on the coronavirus, it’s important for all of us to keep up with other vital health issues and milestones.
Take this time check up on yourself, set new goals and make sure you set up important screenings and necessary exams.
Importantly yearly health screenings can include blood pressure, cholesterol, cervical cancer and others.
Many women’s health clinics are offering virtual visits or other alternatives amid the pandemic.
Be sure to check with your local doctor’s office or gynecologist to see if it’s possible to set up an appointment during these unprecedented times.
