SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OWH was established in 1991 to improve 
the health of American women by advancing and coordinating a 
comprehensive women's health agenda throughout HHS. This program has 
two goals: Development and implementation of model programs on women's 
health; and leading education, collaboration, and coordination on 
women's health. The program fulfills its mission through competitive 
contracts and grants to an array of community, academic, and other 
organizations at the national and community levels. National 
educational campaigns provide information about the important steps 
women can take to improve and maintain their health, such as National 
Women's Health Week.
    National Women's Health Week is a week long health observance that 
kicks off on Mother's Day and seeks to educate women about improving 
their physical and mental health and preventing disease. With the 2010 
theme ``It's Your Time,'' OWH will focus on encouraging women to make 
their health a top priority and take simple steps for a longer, 
healthier and happier life. For more information about National Women's 
Health Week, please visit http://www.womenshealth.gov/whw.
