fphs' Mission
To promote the health and knowledge of women and families throughout their
lives... To improve the lives of generations to come...because knowledge
about sexuality is better than ignorance... and because prevention and
health promotion are the best means to a healthier future.
 Family
Planning Health Services, Inc. provides high quality, affordable and
accessible reproductive and nutritional services to women and their
families. We serve women and their partners in need by providing low-cost
contraceptive care. We provide young people with confidential reproductive
health care as well as sexuality education for prevention and treatment.
We help pregnant women in need of prenatal care and nutritional education,
and their young children who need nutritional food supplements. We promote
ideals that knowledge of sexuality is preferable to ignorance and that
prevention and health promotion are the means of achieving our purposes
for people of all ages and incomes. Our mission embraces an ongoing
commitment to gender equity, community health promotion and community
progress.
