Rhode Island Title X Family Planning Program

Mission Statement
Family PlanningThe mission of the Title X Family Planning Program is to provide women and men, including teenagers, with information and services that will enable them to maintain their overall health, avoid unintended pregnancy or achieve a planned pregnancy when they are physically, emotionally and financially prepared to take on the responsibility.

The Title X Family Planning Program provides high-quality care, services, education and counseling to women, men and teens.  If a person has health insurance, their health plan is charged for the services provided.  When a person does not have health insurance, the cost for services and supplies is figured on a sliding fee scale, based on income.  No one is denied services.

Some of the services offered are:
• Education and counseling about birth control methods
• Birth control for you and your partner
• Pregnancy testing
• Confidential HIV counseling, testing and referral services
• Physical exams
• Pap smears
