Things Every Woman Should Know

May is National Women’s Health Month, an annual observance led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

During this month, women are empowered to make their health a top priority and to begin, or to continue, taking steps to live a long, healthy, and happy life.

At Jackson Health System, we’re raising awareness about women’s health issues in May – and all year long – through educational articles and activities.

Do you remember the last time you went to the doctor for a checkup, an immunization, or lab work?

During each decade of a woman’s life, health needs are constantly changing. Similarly, the health risks present in your 30s are not the same as those in your 70s. That is why Jackson has compiled a roadmap to help you navigate your health by offering tips on recommended health screenings and general tips as you live through your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and well beyond.

It is never too early or too late to begin establishing the foundation for long-lasting health and working towards a healthier you.

Take the first step today and learn what you can do to live a healthier life at any age.

Taking On Your 20s, learn more.
