BIO Girls, ‘Beautiful Inside and Out’, is a 12-week program for adolescent girls combining life-skills curriculum, small-group mentoring, community service & physical activity in a positive, inclusive environment.
39 girls in Detroit Lakes completed the BIO Girls program in 2021, ending the season with completing the Dick Beardsley 5k race. The girls also had lessons on healthy relationships, body image, using their voice, dealing with failure, and goal setting.
Essentia Health is a proud supporter of BIO Girls in their mission of improving self-esteem of girls through empowerment to self and service to others!
The Hayward Composite Mountain Bike Team has added an additional layer of safety to their program thanks to an automatic external defibrillator (AED) donation from Essentia Health.
An AED saved Cole's (pictured center) life as a baby. Today, he is an active and healthy 12-year-old and member of the mountain bike team.
Essentia is grateful for the opportunity to support the Hayward Composite Mountain Bike Team in their efforts of ensuring students and coaches are safe out on the trails!
