A message from Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn More about NYC Women First

I am so excited to launch the City Council's newest initiative: 
NYC Women take your first step today and click here!First: Health Starts with You. 

Too often, women prioritize the needs of others first - at home, at work, with family, with friends, and in relationships. Please join with me and women across the city in making the next year one in which we focus on ourselves and our health as a major priority.

Every month, we will be working with our partners on promoting one of the 12 ways that women can be healthier. This month, we're working to make sure that women take the time to get screened for breast cancer, and know that there are even free or low-cost mammograms for any City resident.

Let's make this a great year for NYC women!
