My Check-Up Day Pledge

As a participant in National Women's Check-Up Day, I will:

  •  
  • - use the interactive screening chart wizard to get an idea of the types of screenings I may need;
  •  
  • - contact my doctor or nurse to discuss these and other tests or screenings I may need to get now;
  •  
  • - schedule an appointment for at least one of these preventive screenings to occur within the next 90 days;
  •  
  • - and I will celebrate a healthier me.
