Celebrate Women’s Health

 

Women’s health is celebrated for a week every May.  In 2004 New Mexico celebrated women’s health four times longer, as Governor Bill Richardson signed a proclamation declaring May to be New Mexico Women’s Health Month!

 

In celebration of these events, the New Mexico Department of Health has gathered a variety of helpful materials from various sources, making them available free of charge for women and their health care providers.
