This week is National Women’s Health Week and the Wisconsin Well Woman Program is encouraging women to make their health a priority. The program serves the northern nine county region of Wisconsin, and offers breast and cervical cancer screenings at no cost to uninsured or underinsured women between the ages of 45 and 64. Program coordinator Nichole Paplinski says this week is about improving women’s mental and physical health. She says women should engage in a physical activity 5 days a week for 30 minutes a day, eat healthy and keep up with preventative screenings…
“…also the national women’s health week is advising women to pay attention to their mental health and try to get enough sleep and manage stress. Also manage unhealthy behaviors like smoking, texting while driving or not wearing a seatbelt or bicycle helmet.”
Paplinski says early detection can save lives and encourages women to reach out to their health care provider for check -ups and screenings.
