Testimonials

Students:

"Ruth Lilly is really fun because you learn not to do bad things like smoke and drink - that kind of stuff."
- Zach Hebble, Wanamaker Elementary Student

"Thank you so much for our visit. We had a BLAST! And we learned so much more about puberty. Mrs. L. was a great help for our class. Mrs. L. told a lot of things that we would need to know in the future. I was inspired by her talent of knowing what to say about life and hormones and also hygiene. I really enjoyed my day at the Ruth Lilly Health Center. I hope we get to visit next year!"
