- Full range of birth control information and supplies
- Client education and counseling
- Annual exams (check-ups)
- Screening for sexually transmitted infections
- Community education

Eligibility & Fee Scale
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 the remaining program funding.
Services are provided to anyone capable of reproduction, regardless of age, sex, religion, race, color, national origin, creed, handicap, number of pregnancies, marital status, income, or insurance.
A sliding fee scale is used. Fees are based on family size and income.
At your first appointment, you will be asked to provide proof of your current income. Your most recent 1040 tax form or paycheck stub can serve as proof of income.
No one is denied services based on their inability to pay.
Services are provided on a voluntary and confidential basis.
Interpreter services are available.
