Family Planning
The health department clinic offers a variety of modern methods
of birth control as well as pregnancy testing and appropriate referrals. We also
provide abstinence counseling and information about natural family planning.
Before you receive birth control through the health department, you will have a
clinical exam by a Nurse Practitioner or Doctor. This exam includes a pelvic
exam and a pap test (If you are due for one) to screen for cervical cancer.
