Alaska Women’s Health Program

The Alaska Women’s Health Program promotes resources and initiatives designed to:

reduce the incidence of preventable conditions among Alaskan women of all ages, including those with special needs and low incomes;
improve access to high quality, evidence-based preventive health services; and
encourage healthy lifestyles.

The Alaska Women’s Health Program seeks to advance public policy as it affects women’s health by sharing current, evidence-based clinical guidelines and information about the health status and needs of Alaskan women.

The Alaska Women’s Health Program suggests the following for good health:

Get at least 2.5 hours of moderate physical activity each week.
Eat nutritious foods.
Visit a doctor for regular checkups and get preventive screenings.
Avoid risky behaviors like smoking and not wearing a seatbelt.
Be conscious of mental health, which includes getting adequate sleep and managing stress.
