Family Planning
The mission of the Oklahoma Family Planning Program is "to provide individuals the information and means to exercise personal choice in determining the number and spacing of their children".
Carter County Health Department's Family Planning services are provided by an OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner, a licensed Physician and Public Health Nurses.
Annual physical exam may consist of pap smear, breast exam, hemoglobin, height and weight, blood pressure, sexually transmitted disease screening, and testicular exam for males.
We also provide Family Planning education/counseling.
Cost
Family Planning services are offered on a sliding scale. A client's percentage to pay is based on income. However, you will not be denied services because of your inability to pay.
