The mission of the Family Planning program is to provide family planning services to men and woman of reproductive age. The clinic accepts medicaid payments and private pay. A sliding fee scale, based on client’s income, had been established to assist low-income families to obtain services. In addition, grant funds are available for those who meet certain eligibility requirements.
All clients will receive the education and counseling to make a personal choice. All services are confidential. Education and counseling are directed toward health promotion and disease prevention.
Medical services include physical exam, pap smear, breast cancer screening, sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia according to the Illinois Department of Public Health guidelines. Blood pressure, weight, height, urine, hematocrit and pregnancy tests are available, if needed. Emergency contraception (Plan B) and birth control is available at our clinic site.
