Biography of Lillian Bernhagen
Lillian Flickinger Bernhagen (October 1, 1916-February 17, 2013), registered nurse and fully certified teacher, was a pioneer
in human sexuality and health education curriculum development for elementary and secondary school children. Early in the
1950s and 1960s, as a school nurse, Coordinator of Health Services and teacher with the Worthington (Ohio) City Schools, she
collected thousands of oral and written questions children asked about their human sexuality. From these she authored (with
others), a book for teachers, Growth Patterns and Sex Education: A Suggested Curriculum Guide, K-12. This book was published
by the American School Health Association and distributed both nationally and internationally.
Concurrently, she developed for the Worthington Schools a full range of health services, established a health education program
and published two sexuality booklets for pubescents: What a Miracle You Are-Boys and What a Miracle You Are-Girls. Bernhagen
authored a teacher’s instruction manual with 72 overhead transparencies, Sex Education: Understanding Growth and Social Development
for grades four through eight, published by GAF Corporation, New York, N.Y., 1968. As a national lecturer and consultant she
served on many professional committees including Chairperson of the American Medical Association Medicine/Education Committee
on School and College Health and was instrumental in promoting Ohio legislation requiring school nurses to have a bachelor’s
degree.
In 1940, Bernhagen received her Bachelor of Science degree from The Ohio State University College of Education and Graduate
Nurse Certification from the School of Nursing, followed in 1958 with a Master of Arts degree. In 1976, upon retirement from
Worthington Schools as Director of Health Services, she was special consultant to the Ohio State Department of Health and
Department of Education, leading workshops throughout Ohio instructing teachers how to teach about sexually transmitted diseases.
She was also a Holistic Coach-Advance Practitioner, managing editor of a bimonthly health magazine, Holistic Discoveries,
and a published poet.
