Background and Discussion:
The grants allow public health services to continue offering high quality, comprehensive, low-cost and accessible family planning and reproductive health services to low income and uninsured populations. The purpose of these programs is to reduce unintended pregnancies, positively affect future pregnancies and improve the health status of women and men. Public Health services conduct health events, program eligibility screening, outreach, and health education activities to ensure underservices populations are targeted. The priority is to emphasize the importance of counseling family planning clients on establishing a reproductive life plan and providing preconception counseling as appropriate.
Expected Impact:
Improving the health of women, mothers and children is critical to the future of Texas; the HHSC and WHP provides a continuum of care through an array of women’s health and family planning related services. These services at no cost including screening, diagnostic, follow-up services, appropriate referrals, along with, public information and education programs. Services also consist of access to health and family planning services to avert unintended pregnancies, positively affect the outcome of future pregnancies and the health and well-being of women and their families.
