Life is full of wonderful surprises, like a marriage proposal, flowers on your birthday or an unexpected bonus at work. Some surprises, though, like an unplanned pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection (STI), can send our lives into a tailspin.

We all know how to prevent pregnancy and STIs, but some people don’t get the services they need because they are unsure where to go. Thanks to a new program available in Shiawassee County, residents need only look to their local Health Department.

The Shiawassee County Health Department has partnered with the Mid-Michigan District Health Department to bring high quality family planning services to women, men and teens in Shiawassee County at low or no cost.

Services are provided by a Nurse Practitioner at the Shiawassee County Health Department, located at 149 E. Corunna Ave., Corunna, Michigan. The Nurse Practitioner provides top notch family planning services and educates clients on their reproductive health in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Family Planning services are confidential and include sexual health education, help choosing the right birth control method, pregnancy testing and counseling, preventative health exams (pelvic exams, pap smears, breast exams) to screen for cancer or other health issues, blood testing, and confidential and anonymous sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment.

A variety of insurance plans are accepted, including Medicaid. For those without insurance, the total charge is based on income and ability to pay. No one will be denied service because of an inability to pay.

The Family Planning program is currently accepting new patients. Call 833-220-3200 for more information or to make an appointment.
