Clemson Women’s Health: Prioritizing Preventative Care and Utilizing Resources for Optimal Well-Being

During Women’s Health Month, it is crucial for women to take proactive steps towards maintaining their health. This includes routine health screenings and tests that are vital for both the treatment and prevention of health issues. Clemson faculty and staff have access to resources year-round through the state health plan, PEBA, and ComPsych, Clemson’s Employee Assistance Program.

Even if there are no symptoms of a problem, it is essential to prioritize preventative care to better understand one’s own health. The State Health Plan through PEBA offers eligible members routine tests such as Pap smears, HPV tests, mammograms, and more at no additional cost. A comprehensive women’s health guide is also available for a full overview of resources.

ComPsych provides an array of resources for women to prioritize their well-being and address common challenges they may face in their journey towards better health. Clemson also offers programs and information on women’s health, with Cooperative Extension providing resources for new mothers on their Rural Health and Nutrition webpage. Women’s Health Month serves as a reminder to focus on our own well-being and utilize the available resources to maintain optimal health.
