National Women’s Checkup Day is always the second Monday following the first complete week of May.
This important day, which provides a yearly reminder for women to schedule their annual well-woman visit, is also part of National Women’s Health Week, which kicks off each Mother’s Day.
If you haven’t had a recent check-up, please consider starting a new annual tradition of marking this week on your calendar to schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or gynecologist.

Screenings may include:
- Blood pressure
- Bone mineral density test
- Cholesterol
- Clinical breast exam
- Mammogram
