If you are a teenager, you can still qualify for free services. Everything is 100% confidential--we will not tell your parents. We have staff members who will walk you through the application process and can even help you obtain your birth certificate.

What is covered?

All types of birth control, GYN exams and Pap tests, emergency contraception (the "morning after pill"), and HIV and STD testing.
