Family Planning Services
Family Planning is an important aspect of maintaining the health and wellness outcomes for our patients during their patient care journey with us.
For more than 50 years Title X family planning clinics have played a critical role in ensuring patients have access to a broad range of family planning contraceptive methods and sexual health-related tests and treatments for millions of low-income or uninsured individuals in the United States. Title X is the only federal grant program dedicated to solely providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services.
Do you provide Family Planning Services under the provisions of Title X?
Yes. We are pleased to provide individuals who are of reproductive age with the resources secured by and implemented through this federal program. This program is available for men, women, and transgender patients and is designed to provide individuals with a confidential way of seeking these services.
