wOMen: Here'S tO tHe
Time of Your Life
When a woman's most significant health moments are represented along
a timeline, her life might look something like this. Take a moment
to see where you are along the continuum; reminisce about the past and
look forward to experiences still ahead. Above all, make sure you're
the healthiest you can be to get the most out of every moment.

"The HPV vaccine works best if administered
well before the onset of sexual activity," advises Laura

Medical Group. "The HPV vaccine has been proven effective
against this cancer-causing virus, so it is important young
