FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Do I have to be 18 or older to get birth control?
No. Services are available to all women of every age group.

Will my parents need to give permission?
No. Parental consent is not required for family planning patients who are minors.

What about confidentiality?
The clinic staff does all it can to protect patients' confidence and privacy.

How much does it cost?
A sliding scale fee based on income is available. Some insurances are also accepted.
Women 40 and over who financially qualify may receive an exam, pap smear and mammogram at no cost.

I don't want pills. What can I do?
Pills are not the only method of birth control. Other methods are available, both in the clinic and drug stores, but you need to be taught their correct use, side effects and effectiveness ratings.
