Dear RHC Community,
We hope you will join us for our free, upcoming technical assistance webinar, Strengthening Rural Health: The Role of HPV Vaccination, in partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital HPV Cancer Prevention Program.
Rural life is a choice made by 1 in 5 people. This choice shouldn’t come with a higher risk of cancers like HPV cancers, which are almost entirely preventable with on-time HPV vaccination.
As team members at Rural Health Clinics, you are essential in safeguarding your community’s health.
Those living in rural areas possess numerous strengths, such as resiliency, self-sufficiency, and a strong sense of community, yet these same strengths can make many less likely to seek preventive healthcare, including HPV vaccination.
Join this webinar to learn about the importance of HPV vaccination in preventing cancers and how St. Jude is working to achieve this. Your dedication and efforts can make a significant difference. You can learn more about St. Jude rural HPV cancer prevention efforts at stjude.org/hpvrural.
This webinar will share best practices and numerous resources for you to utilize in your RHCs. There will also be a Q&A session during the webinar.
Date: Tuesday, October 1, 2024, 3 PM Eastern

- Heather Brandt, PhD
- Director, HPV Cancer Prevention Program; Co-associate Director for Outreach, St. Jude Comprehensive Cancer Center; Member, Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Control — St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
