Our vision is to see all women and girls achieve the best possible health.

National Women's Health Week is a time to focus on prevention.

Sarcopenia, or the loss of muscle strength over time, is often mistaken for normal aging. But identifying changes early can help support long-term mobility and independence. One conversation can make a lasting impact.

Routine visits—especially during midlife—can be a good time to start that conversation.

📣 New Publication Alert!

The HHS Office on Women’s Health is pleased to spotlight a recently published article in The Lancet Regional Health – Americas. “A Novel Maternal Prenatal Risk Index to Predict Mortality-Weighted Severe Maternal Morbidity at Hospitalization” introduces a new maternal Prenatal Risk Index (m-PRI) that more accurately identifies patients at risk for severe maternal morbidity. By weighting prenatal risk factors based on mortality-informed severity rather than a simple yes-or-no outcome, the m-PRI outperformed existing obstetric risk scores and offers a promising new tool for earlier risk identification and improved maternal health outcomes.
