Presidential Proclamation--National Women's Health Week

Presidential Proclamation--National Women's Health Week

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

Women are a foundation of our families, and their health affects the well-being of our communities and our country. They often make health care decisions for their families as well as themselves. However, American women have not always had access to the health care they need, or the freedom to make the best health choices for their loved ones. As a Nation, we must ensure our mothers, daughters, friends, and colleagues receive fair treatment and access to resources they need to live healthy, happy lives. During National Women's Health Week, we reaffirm our commitment to making women's health a priority.

To all my sisters out there, let's commit to taking care of ourselves and our daughters. To echo Patti LaBelle, "treat your body as a temple, not an amusement park." To read the entire proclamation, CLICK HERE.
