It's our favorite day of the week - ! 🎉

Interested in having a family but not sure if you're ready to start one? 🤔 Our Family Planning (FP) staff can help you make a plan! 📋

They're trained to provide pre-conceptual counseling - this includes reviewing family history, medical conditions, potential risks, and other factors that would affect a pregnancy. 🤰

If you decide you're ready to start trying, we can also provide folic acid and prenatal vitamins! 💊

To begin your family planning journey, call us at 434-972-6269 to make an FP clinic appointment 📲
