Family Planning
The Family Planning Program encourages all teens to discuss with a parent or guardian their decision to become sexually active but this is not a requirement.
The goal of the Allen County Health Department Family Planning Clinic is to assist individuals in planning their family, delaying the start of their planning, and counseling those trying to achieve pregnancy. We also offer individual counseling in responsible sexual actions, preventing/treating STD's (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) and promoting a healthy lifestyle by making these services readily available to the community.
The Allen County Health Department Family Planning Clinic is scheduled on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month. Appointments are scheduled from 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. The charges for Family Planning visits range from Free to $300.00. The actual cost is based on the household income, test(s) performed, and method of birth control. Medicaid is accepted. Charges are made on a sliding fee scale so clients pay only what they can afford. No one is denied service due to inability to pay. Our services include one on one counseling and all information is kept confidential.
