Women's Health Awareness: How Healthy Are You?
May 28, 2025
As May comes to a close, we end the month with a focus on Women’s Health to raise awareness about women’s health issues and encourage women to prioritize their well-being through regular checkups, preventive care, and informed lifestyle choices.
This May and every month, St. Francis-Emory Healthcare encourages you to champion your health. Make some time for your most important asset – your health. The following activities are an effective guide for all women:
- Schedule an annual wellness visit ‒ call 706-596-4350 or visit our Women's Health page to learn more about our services and make a physician appointment based on your preferences
- Exercise regularly – that means moderate activity for at least 150 minutes each week
- Eat a healthier, well-balanced diet that includes foods that are low in salt, fat, and cholesterol
- Control your weight, and if necessary, work to reduce it
- Lower your stress or anxiety levels
- Quit smoking and avoid or reduce alcohol use
- Get enough sleep (7-9 hours per night for adults)
- If you are over 50, get a mammogram every two years
Happy Women’s Health month! We hope you mark the occasion by redoubling your efforts to make your life’s journey a healthier one. To learn more about the Women’s Health services provided by St. Francis-Emory Healthcare, visit:
