Achievement

Equal Opportunity
We firmly believe in providing high-quality family planning education and services regardless of race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status, employer, or insurance status.
The Reality
Studies show that unintended pregnancy, unintended births, abortions, and teen pregnancies disproportionately occur in minority groups and low income communities.
The Need
A critical factor in eliminating racial and economic disparities in care is the Title X (ten) program which continues to be the only dedicated source of federal funding for family planning.
Our Services
Title X providers provide a wide range of services including birth control, counseling, STD screening & treatment, cervical cancer screening, and HIV testing.
Better Care
Of the respondents polled in Guttmacher Institute’s Contraception Research, 63% reported that birth control use had allowed them to take better care of themselves or their families, support themselves financially (56%), complete their education (51%), or keep or get a job (50%).
Economic Value
Family planning is a bipartisan issue with proven results, saving taxpayers $7 for every $1 the government invests in family planning.
