Women’s Health Week

From osteoporosis to menopause, women develop different health concerns as they age. Gender-specific challenges like hormonal changes, as well as shifts in lifestyle, mean that women need to develop a healthcare plan that takes into account their unique circumstances. 

As journalist Nancy Brown points out in a blog post about women’s healthcare, “Far too many women focus on the health and happiness of others without taking the time to care for themselves. While there’s a sweet, loving motive behind this kind of priority structure, it also comes with a fundamental flaw: If these women get sick, those who depend on them will be left in need.” 

Proactive Prevention 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women’s Health promotes National Women’s Health Week each May starting on Mother’s Day. The purpose the program is to inspire women to take better care of their wellbeing while also taking specific steps to improve their health.  

The organizers of National Women’s Health Week encourage women of all ages to be proactive about their health by following these key strategies: 

  1. Keep up with recommended screenings and preventative care. 
  2. Maintain moderate physical activity: at least 2 ½ hours per week. 
  3. Follow nutritional guidelines for your age and develop a healthy eating plan. 
  4. Prioritize mental health. 
  5. Practice healthy behaviors.

As women age, many health problems can occur, including preventable conditions that can be controlled via diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes. As a result, it is vital for older women to have access to the information and tools necessary to manage their health effectively. 

“Women continue to be the support beams of our families and our communities,” says Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. “We often make the healthcare decisions for our families, but we seldom make time for ourselves.” 

That’s a mistake for our own health and the health of our nation. We can’t support others if we aren’t taking care of ourselves. 

Outreach Opportunity 

Women’s Health Week is a fantastic opportunity for senior living providers and caregivers to educate female residents and their families about all the ways to improve overall health and mental function. Senior living providers interested in participating in Women’s Health Week should check out the organization’s website for more information.

I’ve lived in Valencia County all my life I never heard of such a place but it’s absolutely about time we need more of this housing for our elderly…

This is NOTHING like a nursing home. This is an Assisted Living place. The way they took care of my mom was phenomenal. Even as she progressed into the disease process of dementia, they loved her & made her life more wonderful than I could have by myself. The only reason for four stars instead if five is because they have a waiting list and I don't like to wait -- but the wait was only 3 weeks and totally worth it!
