St. Francis to answer moms’ and daughters’ questions about HPV

PLAINFIELD, Ind. – You’ve probably heard about the vaccine that helps prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) in women. But if you have a young daughter, chances are you have countless questions about HPV and the vaccine.

Mothers and daughters are invited to get the facts about HPV on Tuesday, Nov. 10, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the St. Francis Plainfield Health Center, 315 Dan Jones Road in Plainfield.

April Hoffman, D.O., who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology at St. Francis Hospital–Mooresville, will lead this candid talk about HPV and cervical cancer. Dr. Hoffman will discuss the effectiveness of the vaccine, why and when to vaccinate your daughter and more.

All guests who attend this event will be entered in a drawing for a Coach bag.

Refreshments will be served, and reservations are required. For more information or to register for this free event, call (317) 782-4422 or visit StFrancisHospitals.org/women.
