Each year, millions of women take steps to improve their health during National Women's Health Week. The week serves as a reminder for women to make their health a priority and build positive health habits for life. The 20th annual National Women's Health Week kicks off on Mother's Day, May 12. For the second year in a row, the JCC of Mid-Westchester joins the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women’s Health in leading events and programs during National Women’s Health Week to encourage all women to be as healthy as possible.
JCCMW has made this initiative an annual priority and welcomes everyone in the community to get their Health on track. They invite women, men, and teens to participate in as many sessions and events as they can.
