St. Francis Hospital ‘Girls Night Out’ focused on women’s health issues

INDIANAPOLIS – St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers recently hosted an entertaining and informational Spirit Girls’ Night Out to help local women find their “best health now.”

The event offered more than 200 women valuable information about breast health, flu prevention, bone health and other leading women’s health issues, while enjoying food, products from local vendors and free health screenings among other fun activities.

“As women, we are always looking for the latest health information to ensure our family’s health and wellness is intact, but we often end up neglecting our own health,” said Michele Wood, manager of the St. Francis Spirit of Women program. “Spirit Girls’ Night Out allowed women to get away from their everyday worries while obtaining health information that could profoundly impact their overall health and the health of their families.”

Health education, health screenings and fun activities were woven throughout the event to emphasize the importance of understanding common health issues affecting women today.

The energizing and informative event was held at the Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis South/Greenwood.

As a Spirit of Women hospital, St. Francis is dedicated to improving women's lives with innovative health and community programs. St. Francis’ Spirit of Women program touches the lives of thousands of women each year through inspiring seminars, health education, a consumer membership program, the annual Day of Dance event and grassroots efforts to improve the health and well-being of women around south-central Indiana.
