The Well Woman Initiative by ACOG promotes annual preventive care visits for women starting in adolescence. It aims to improve health outcomes for women throughout their lives by increasing access to routine check-ups. As of 2017, 80.3% of Delaware women aged 18-44 received a routine visit in the past year. The initiative focuses on optimizing women's health, reducing unintended pregnancies, and providing comprehensive care. Its three-pronged approach emphasizes engagement and opportunistic care, ensuring every woman receives the preventive services she needs.
