Take the Women’s Checkup Day Pledge
Today is National Women’s Checkup Day, a day to remind women that regular medical checkups are vital to the early detection of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, sexually transmitted infections and more.
From WomensHealth.gov:
As a participant in National Women’s Checkup Day, I will:
- Contact my current health care professional to schedule a checkup and get important screenings.
- Discuss with my health care professionals which screenings and tests are right for me, when I should have them, and how often.
- Use the interactive screening chart and immunization tool to learn what screenings and immunizations I need and at what age.
- Schedule at least one preventive health screening during May 2011.
Take the Women’s Checkup Day pledge and take steps toward living a healthy life.
