National Women's Health Week 2026

Happy National Women’s Health Week (NWHW) and Happy Mother’s Day!

From May 10–16, the HHS, Office on Women’s Health (OWH) highlights health conditions and priorities that affect women and girls and encourages everyone to take charge of their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

This year’s theme, “Prevention, Innovation, and Impact: A New Era in Women’s Health,” emphasizes proactive, science-driven, and coordinated approaches to care. It calls for a shift away from fragmented models toward strategies that prioritize prevention, early detection, and measurable outcomes. The theme also highlights emerging science, underscores the importance of early detection and prevention, recognizes the role of hormones in whole-person health across the lifespan, and ensures content is grounded in current and emerging research in women’s health.
