Women often prioritize caring for others, but it’s important to remember that Women’s Health Month encourages women to also focus on their own health and well-being. Taking the time to care for ourselves is crucial for maintaining good health and addressing any potential problems before they become severe.
Routine health screenings and tests play a vital role in early detection and prevention of various health issues. These screenings are essential for overall well-being, even if women do not exhibit symptoms of a problem. The State Health Plan through PEBA offers eligible members access to routine tests such as Pap smears, HPV tests, mammograms, and more at no additional cost.
Clemson faculty and staff have access to valuable resources throughout the year through the state health plan, PEBA, and ComPsych, Clemson’s Employee Assistance Program. These resources provide support and guidance for women seeking to improve their health and well-being.
For a comprehensive overview of women’s health resources available through the State Health Plan, women can refer to a detailed women’s health guide. ComPsych also offers a variety of resources to help women prioritize their health and address common challenges they may face.
Additionally, Clemson University provides additional support through programs and information on women’s health. On their Rural Health and Nutrition webpage, Cooperative Extension offers resources for new mothers to access valuable information and support for their health and well-being. Women are encouraged to take advantage of these resources during Women’s Health Month and beyond to prioritize their own health and well-being.
