National Women's Health Week, 2024

This proclamation designates May 12-18, 2024 as National Women's Health Week, encouraging women to prioritize their health and catch up on screenings. The document is primarily a commemorative vehicle that extensively describes the Biden Administration's existing and proposed women's health policies—including the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research, Cancer Moonshot, ACA protections, reproductive rights advocacy, and maternal health programs—but contains no new substantive directives or mandates.
