Whereas, Women’s Health Week celebrates the extraordinary progress in
women’s health and recognizes that more needs to be done to safeguard
the health of women for generations to come; and,
Whereas, Women from all walks of life and at every stage of life have unique
health needs that should be addressed in their own right; and,
Whereas, Keeping women healthy and safe and promoting awareness of women’s
health issues depends on partnerships with social, health and other services;
and,
Whereas, Women can promote health and prevent disease and illness by taking
simple steps to improve their physical, mental, social and spiritual health;
and,
Whereas, Women’s health remains a priority for families, communities
and government, and our commitment to keeping women healthy is stronger than
ever; and therefore be it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim the week of May 11, 2003, as Women’s Health Week in
Michigan, and I encourage all citizens to work together to promote and improve
the health of women and to increase awareness and understanding of women’s
health issues.
