The WHV Network
WHV's statewide network includes public and private organizations and individuals who are concerned about women and girls' health. WHV encourages the participation of entities with medical and non-medical orientations, including those engaged in health care and promotion. WHV also hopes to hear from businesses, civic and community groups, government and non-profit agencies, and unaffiliated individuals who are concerned about the health of their communities, their families and themselves. You or your organization can be part of the Network and receive information by e-mail and postal mail about WHV news activities, simply by sending us your contact information.
| WHV brings together Network participants for action to promote women and girls’ wellness, including the celebration of Women & Girls’ Wellness Month in April. This observance, which was officially designated by the Virginia General Assembly in 2002, promotes awareness of lifelong well being for girls and women. It addresses the diverse issues involved in women and girls’ wellness and programs, and services of participating organizations for women and girls in the state. |
