Women's Health

Do you want to be healthy? Are you pregnant or thinking about starting a family? Many things affect a woman’s health and well-being.

What you can do to be healthy…

• Know your health and pregnancy risks
• Choose to be healthy
  
• Get regular health check-ups
• Pay attention to emotional wellness and social support

Whether you’re a spouse, partner, family member or friend, you play an important role toward encouraging and supporting a woman’s healthy choices.

Another important decision for women involves family planning to determine the number and spacing of their children. The Oklahoma Family Planning Program is devoted to providing family planning services to females of reproductive age.
