Hager Sharp Helps HHS Office on Women’s Health Promote National Women’s Health Week
Mother’s Day (May 9) kicked off National Women’s Health Week, a weeklong health observance to educate women about steps they can take to improve their health and reduce their risk for many diseases. With the theme “It’s Your Time,” the nationwide initiative is also aimed at empowering women to make their health a top priority. National Women’s Health Week is coordinated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health, with the help of Hager Sharp. This year, nearly 2,000 events will take place across the country—in hospitals, churches, community centers, and even online. Events range from free screenings and health fairs, to fashion shows and 5K walks.
