Free Women's Health Calendar Helps You Take Charge of Your Health Posted: March 15th, 2010

From scheduling annual checkups to refilling prescriptions to judging the severity of your aches and pains, managing your health care can be complicated. The Office on Women's Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has created a women's health calendar to help you navigate the health care system and take charge of your health.

What's in the Women's Health Calendar?

In addition to a full 2010 calendar, the women's health calendar features charts to help you keep track of the immunizations and screenings you need.

The women's health calendar also offers advice on the following health issues:

• Recognizing symptoms
• Quitting smoking
• Getting a second opinion

Preventive care, which includes regular checkups, immunizations, and screenings, is covered by most health insurance plans.
