The President has issued a proclamation declaring this week “Women’s Health Week.” In an official Whitehouse press release, goals were outlined by Mr. Obama that he says will help “break existing barriers” and “improve the health of American women for generations to come.”
Some guidelines include advice to:
- Lead healthy lives and set an example for young people.
- Take advantage of preventive care with routine screenings and checkups.
- Emphasize the role of women in promoting the vitality of our children and communities.
- Remember the simple everyday steps like using sunscreen, exercising regularly, and eating healthy.
Online resources were also cited for promoting the goals of women’s health week, including the Whitehouse Council on Women and Girls, womenshealth.gov, and girlshealth.gov.
