Maria Shriver, the ex-wife of the bodybuilding legend and seven-time Mr. Olympia Champion Arnold Schwarzenegger, has always been on a path to support women’s health. The Alzheimer’s movement is close to Shriver’s heart, and she has devoted herself to it. The Austrian Oak’s ex-wife recently won an award for her battle against Alzheimer’s. 

Shriver has earlier tied up with the Cleveland Clinic in the fight against Alzheimer’s. With her movement picking up speed and even garnering praise from Oprah Winfrey, Shriver now has added one more feather to her cap. 

US Surgeon General presents Shriver with the award

The Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) is an organization that focuses on science and education to improve women’s health. Taking to X, the SWHR revealed how Shriver had won this year’s Women’s Health Visionary Award for her unwavering advocacy for women’s health and Alzheimer’s research. They added, “We recognize Shriver’s work in sparking crucial conversations about the unique health challenges faced by women. #SWHRGala“

Shriver received the award from U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. Upon receiving the award, Shriver said some heart-touching words. “This is a watershed moment for women—and I mean women of all skin colors, women of all ages, and women of all income levels,” she exclaimed.
