Waco, TX – According to the state officials, the National Women’s Health Week raises awareness about women’s health issues and highlights ways women can make their health a priority and maintain healthy habits throughout their lives.

HHSC’s Healthy Texas Women program offers free women’s health and family planning services at no cost to eligible, low-income women.

  • The Title V Maternal and Child Health Fee-for-Service (TVFFS) Program and the Primary Health Care program provide an array of primary health care services for low-income adults and children, including services before, during and after pregnancy.
