Family Planning

The Family Planning Program assists women, including teenagers, in maintaining their reproductive health. The Family Planning mission is "to provide individuals with the information and means to exercise personal choice in determining the number and spacing of their children, regardless of race, gender, class, sexual or affectional orientation, age or physical ability." This is accomplished by offering the following services through the Department's Neighborhood Offices:

	Birth control
	Pregnancy tests
	Pelvic exams
	Pap smear tests
	Sexually Transmitted Disease tests & treatment
	HIV (AIDS virus) counseling and testing
	Patient education
	Community education

The Pima County Health Department Family Planning Program is funded in part by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Arizona Family Planning Council.
Services are confidential and a sliding fee scale is utilized. Fees are based on family income and number in household but,

NO ONE IS REFUSED SERVICE BECAUSE OF AN INABILITY TO PAY.
