"Some women have a tendency to put their own needs last or make themselves lower priorities than the people they love and care for," said Gutierrez. "But it is important that women understand the many ways in which their own health needs to be monitored through preventive care - through regular gynecological exams, breast cancer screenings and regular check-ups.
