I haven't checked to see if May is the busiest month when it comes to health observances, but if it's not, it's way up there. Do campaigns for specific causes have any impact on you? I have a personal interest in this because of Sepsis Alliance, which brought about Sepsis Awareness Month this past September.
Anyway, for the busy month of May, this is what I found for the United States:
Arthritis Awareness Month
Better Hearing and Speech Month
Global Employee Health and Fitness Month
Healthy Vision Month
Hepatitis Awareness Month
Lupus Awareness Month
Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month®
Mental Health Month
National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month
National Celiac Disease Awareness Month
National High Blood Pressure Education Month
National Mediterranean Diet Month
National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month
National Physical Fitness and Sports Month
National Toxic Encephalopathy and Chemical Injury Awareness Month
Ultraviolet Awareness Month
And then there are weekly observances:
May 6 to 12
May 13 to 19
May 14 to 18
May 21 to 27
And now for the daily observances
May 14: National Women's Check-Up Day
May 18: HIV Vaccine Awareness Day
May 19: Hepatitis Testing Day
May 25: Heat Safety Awareness Week
May 31: World No Tobacco Day
Are there any here that surprise you?

Yes I've noticed May is particularly busy for that! I work in marketing communications for a health organization in BC and my promotions calendar is much more full than usual!
