When asked about their experiences, a larger share of women than men say they have skipped preventive health services, such as a yearly checkup or routine test (38% vs. 26%), or skipped a recommended medical test or treatment (23% vs. 15%). The study also showed that women with health and economic challenges prior to the pandemic have experienced worsening health conditions as a result of forgoing health care services. <\/p>\n<p>These gaps in care could translate into higher numbers of women experiencing severe health issues after the health emergency from the pandemic resolves. <\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;<\/i><i>During the pandemic, we know that many women took on new roles and responsibilities &#8211; including\u00a0working from home, homeschooling their children, and being a multi-generational family caregiver<\/i><i>,&#8221;<\/i>\u00a0explained Fidelis Care Senior Medical Director Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Camille Pearte<\/span>.<i>&#8220;Women have often prioritized their family&#8217;s health and wellness over their own. On National Women&#8217;s Checkup Day, we urge all women to proactively schedule their preventive care and recommended screenings<\/i>. <i>Regular checkups are integral to women&#8217;s physical and mental health and wellness over the course of their lives.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>As a first step, Dr. Pearte encourages women to speak with their provider&#8217;s office about the ways they are keeping patients safe during COVID, make an appointment for their annual checkup, and ask whether or an in-person or telehealth visit is right for them.<\/p>\n<p>Taking care of their physical and mental health and wellness is one of the most important things women can do &#8211; not just during the pandemic, but also throughout their lives.
