Meet the Team!

Meet the Girls Health Ed. (GHE) team! 

Girls Health Ed., founded by Sarah Hillware (third from the right), former America's Miss District of Columbia, is a volunteer community effort, which seeks to educate girls 8-17 about their overall health. 

We exist to help girls and young women make healthy, informed choices throughout their lives by having local health professionals from relevant fields teach bi-weekly seminars in metro area public, private and charter schools. We are different from other health-related organizations that serve girls and young women because instead of zeroing in on one particular aspect of a healthy lifestyle, we realize that true health comes from equal emphasis on many aspects. Our four areas of focus are nutrition and body image, physical activity, reproductive health, and personal care.

We hope you enjoy our blog posts!
