HAMMOND, Ind. — One Planned Parenthood in Indiana is offering a new birth-control service.

WANE 15 reports that certain other Indiana clinics will likely provide the procedure at some point this year.  The Hammond Health Center is just the first Hoosier Planned Parenthood to do so.

If you need to visit the Health Center, head to 7131 Indianapolis Boulevard.  Learn more about the clinic here.
