Family Planning
The Family Planning Program promotes the well being of families, responsible behavior, and healthy mothers and babies. Our goal is to prevent unintended pregnancies through education and contraceptive services, allowing for the planning and timing of pregnancies.
There are 81 clinics throughout Alabama offering family planning services. We provide a wide range of confidential and professional family planning services to both females and males of all ages. These services are provided regardless of income. You may be eligible for free or reduced cost services.
One style doesn't fit all. Especially when it comes to birth control. Let us help find a method that works for you!

Preconception health refers to the health of women throughout their reproductive years - the years when a woman can become pregnant. Making sure that women of reproductive age are healthy is one of the best ways to ensure the success and well-being of future generations. It is also an important part of ensuring the health of women throughout their lives.
