South Dakota Family Planning Program
The South Dakota Family Planning Program provides services to all people capable of reproduction who need and desire family planning.
Participation is voluntary. Services include:
- education, counseling, nursing, medical and direct contraceptive services to those interested in spacing the birth of their children and/or limiting family size.
- breast and cervical cancer screening and sexually transmitted disease screening.
- infertility counseling services, upon request.
- pregnancy testing; referrals to appropriate care for women confirmed to be pregnant.
- preconception counseling.
The program is funded through the federal Title X family planning grant and the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant. Client fees and donations provide remaining program funding.
