Not Sure Which Pathway Is Right For You?
Our care coordinators can help you understand your options, check your eligibility, and connect you with the right provider based on your needs and preferences.

What services are typically covered?
Covered services usually include consultations, birth control prescriptions, annual exams, cancer screenings (pap smears, mammograms), STI testing, and in some cases, long-acting contraception like IUDs and implants.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. All services provided through Title X clinics and community health centers are strictly confidential. Your personal information is protected by state and federal privacy laws, including HIPAA.
