“Family planning” is the process of establishing objectives for the number and spacing of one’s children and selecting the means by which those objectives may be achieved. This may involve a broad range of acceptable and effective methods and services to limit or enhance fertility, including contraceptive methods (such as natural family planning, abstinence, pills, shots, IUDs, and implants).
Family planning includes pre-conceptual counseling, education and general reproductive healthcare, including diagnosis and treatment of infections, which can threaten reproductive capability.
Private and confidential services are provided to anyone of reproductive age (regardless of nationality, age, religion, or other factors) on a sliding fee scale, based on family size and income. All forms of health insurance are accepted. Donations are appreciated.
