Celebrating Women’s Health: Take Charge During National Women’s Health Week

05/08/2025

It’s National Women’s Health Week! This annual observance is a powerful reminder of the importance of women prioritizing their health and well-being — physically, mentally, and emotionally.  It’s a time to reflect on the significance of regular health check-ups, cultivating a balanced diet, setting aside time for physical activity, and ensuring mental health care.

Women often wear many hats: entrepreneur, caregiver, household manager, friend, partner, mentor, and more. With so much on their plates, it’s essential that women feel empowered to advocate for their own health. Prioritizing personal wellness isn’t just self-care; it’s the foundation for showing up fully for our families, our careers, and our communities.

Did you know that women spend 25% more time in poor health compared to men? Closing this health gap could add over seven additional days of healthy life for every woman and contribute more than $1 trillion to the global economy annual by 2040, according to McKinsey Health Institute.
