\nOn May 12-16, the Olson Center for Women’s Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, will host a week of free presentations, health screenings and a health fair. The goal of the events, which are open to the community, is to raise awareness about women’s health issues and educate women about simple steps they can take for healthier lives. <\/p>\n

\nThe events celebrate National Women’s Health Week, a nationwide initiative of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health, to bring attention to the importance of women’s health.<\/p>\n

\n“Our goal is to provide important health updates and promote the importance of being aware of health are screening and treatments,” said Sonja Kinney, M.D., medical director of the Olson Center and a UNMC associate professor in obstetrics and gynecology. “We know that many women are the main care provider for their families- and if they get the message that their health is important, we’ll get that to translate to better health for everyone.”<\/p>\n
