Women’s Health Team Includes:
Title X
Established in 1970 as part of the Public Health Service Act, Title X (ten) is the nation’s only federal program dedicated to providing family planning services. The mission of Title X is to provide individuals with the information and means to exercise personal choice in determining the number and spacing of their children. Primarily serving a lower-income population, Title X carries out President Richard Nixon’s proclamation that “no American woman should be denied access to family planning assistance because of her economic condition.” Over the last 35 years, the network of Title X clinics has played a critical role in ensuring access to confidential family planning services, including birth control, for millions of uninsured, underinsured and low-income women at no cost or at a reduced cost. For many women, Title X serves as an entry point into the health care system, as well as a source of primary health care services. The high-quality reproductive health services provided by Title X have significantly reduced the rate of unintended pregnancy and lowered the rates of sexually transmitted diseases. Title X services provided: gynecological examinations and basic lab tests; breast and cervical cancer screenings; contraceptive counseling and supplies; testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases; HIV testing and risk reduction counseling; pregnancy testing; general health screenings for high blood pressure, diabetes and anemia; community education and outreach.
