Family Planning Program

The mission of the Family Planning program is to provide individuals the information and means to exercise personal choice in determining the number and spacing of their children.  This program offers a broad range of acceptable and effective family planning methods, including natural family planning methods, infertility services, and services to adolescents.
 

General Information

Services provided through family planning clinics allow men and women to make well-informed reproductive health choices.  The family planning clinic addresses the unmet family planning needs of men and women at or below poverty, and those slightly above poverty, but still considered low income, and provides access to those with special needs (such as teens and high risk women).  No one is denied services because of inability to pay.
