Williams or Staci Cox (202) 225- 4572 Gwen Moore Celebrates National Women’s Health Week Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-4) released the following statement recognizing National Women’s Health Week: “National Women’s Health Week is a time for women to take charge of their well-being. As a woman, I understand how we often neglect our own health while caring for our families and others in our community. A goal of National Women’s Health Week is to help us find the balance in our lives so that we can learn to care for others as well as ourselves. “This year’s theme is ‘It’s Your Time,’ encouraging women to make health a top priority and take proactive steps towards improving our health and decreasing risk for disease. Simple actions like eating healthy, exercising and regularly visiting with a physician can help us take control of our health. “The Affordable Care Act also takes steps towards improving women’s health. Thanks to this health care reform law, women can now have mammograms and cervical cancer screenings, among other preventative services, without paying a deductible. I am thankful to President Obama for his commitment to women’s health. “In order to improve the lives of our families and communities, we must first improve our health. I encourage all women to use this week as a first step toward improving their health.” National Women’s Health Week will be celebrated from May 13th until May 19th.
