In
the United States, almost half of all pregnancies are unintended. Yet, many safe and highly effective methods
of birth control are available to prevent unintended pregnancy. Women with unintended pregnancies are less
likely to obtain early prenatal care and their babies are at increased risks of
both low birth weight and preterm birth, which can cause health and development
issues all through their lives. An unintended pregnancy can also limit the
education and employment opportunities of both parents often leading to
significant financial challenges.
That
is why JCPH is dedicated to offering the following services:
- Pregnancy testing and all options counseling
- Treatment
of minor gynecological problems
- Abstinence counseling
- Emergency Contraceptive Pill
- STD Clinic
- HIV Confidential Counseling & Testing
- Teen Health Program
All
services are confidential and parental consent is not necessary for
minors. In most cases, a birth control
method can be started on your first appointment. More information can be found at www.jeffco.us/health
