Greetings:

 

2010 National Women's Health Week (NWHW) is a weeklong health observance 
coordinated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' OWH.  NWHW 
empowers women to make their health a top priority.  With the theme "It's Your 
Time," the nationwide initiative encourages women to take simple steps for a 
longer, healthier, and happier life.  http://womenshealth.gov/whw.    
Collaborators are the heart of NWHW.  A Collaborator is any organization that 
supports NWHW by holding a registered women's health activity at the regional, 
state or local level or online.   This year, registered Collaborator 
events/activities can occur anywhere from April 9, 2010 through June 13, 2010.  
 

 

Here's what you can do to help to make this 2010 campaign a success both 
nationally and in Region IX:

 

1. Become a Collaborator by registering at least one event or activity on our 
website - it can be as simple as a table display of resource materials in the 
lobby of your office building or adding the NWHW logo to a website to more 
complex activities such as a health fair and screenings, "lunch and learn" 
session, etc.  

 

2.  Share this campaign with other potential Collaborators - 

 
  1.. Outreach to potential collaborators within Region IX using listservs, 
newsletters, meetings, etc.; 
  2.. Educate them about the purpose of National Women's Health Week; 
  3.. Inform them of the importance of this campaign and the role they can play 
in supporting this campaign;  
  4.. Encourage them to host at least one event or activity and to register it 
on the OWH website. http://womenshealth.gov/whw/my-account/sign-in.cfm; and, 
  5.. Inform them that after their event/activity is registered, they can order 
FREE educational materials for dissemination.  (They should order items at 
least 3 weeks before the event/activity occurs.) 
I have attached a NWHW Collaborator Fact Sheet for your use.  And, I have 
attached the order form for free "Women.Smokefree.gov" materials.  As I learn 
about other great resources, I will let you know.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  As always, if you have problems 
registering your event, I will be happy to provide assistance.  

Thank you, in advance for your assistance.  I believe this will be an 
outstanding year for this campaign.

Warm regards, KAS
