Family Planning

Family Planning offers a variety of modern methods of birth control as well as pregnancy testing and appropriate referrals.

Before you receive birth control through the health department, you will receive a clinical exam by a Nurse Clinician Practitioner or a Doctor. This exam includes a pap test to screen for cervical cancer and breast exam. The health department also provides abstinence counseling. 

Cost

  • Adults: The cost for birth control will depend on your ability to pay. Call 850. 595.6554 for more information about cost.
  • Teens: Birth control is offered free to women through 19 years of age.
