Family Planning has been an integral part of Public Health Nursing since September, 2002. This program promotes responsible behavior and the well being of families. It helps to prevent unintended pregnancies through education including abstinence, natural family planning and contraceptive services. It also allows planning and timing of pregnancies. Program funding includes a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
