In observance of National Women's Health Week, the City of Minneapolis Health Department has taken to social media to underscore the importance of women advocating for their own health. As noted by the City of Minneapolis Health Department, women often face health challenges that are largely overlooked, and the push for self-advocacy could lead to more effective care.
"Got a check-up coming up? Make a list of your concerns and questions ahead of time. It can make a big difference in getting the right care for you during National Women's Health Week and always," the City of Minneapolis Health Department stated. The health department also urges the community to support their efforts and spread awareness using the hashtag #NWHW.
More information about the week and how to get involved can be found on the health department's website.
