Title X Family Planning Services - The Tennessee Family Planning Program (TFPP) is a Tennessee Department of Health program that has served as a Title X grantee since 1972. The Tennessee Department of Health has a strong public health infrastructure to provide administrative, clinical and financial management support to a network of 124 sites providing family planning services across all 95 counties in the state. If funded, at least 75% of clients will be at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level. The TFPP provides services that are client-centered, culturally and linguistically appropriate, inclusive, and trauma-informed. The TFPP works to protect the dignity of the individual and ensure equitable and quality service delivery. Tennessee Family Planning Program services encompass a broad range of medically approved family planning methods ranging from abstinence, sterilizations and LARCs to natural family planning and fertility awareness based methods, pregnancy testing and counseling, achieving pregnancy, basic infertility services, preconception and interconception care, and STD/HIV testing and treatment. Multiple sites also provide primary care, preventive health and dental services. The TFPP provides confidential services to minors, promotes parental involvement, and complies with all Title X and state requirements regarding mandatory reporting. Abstinence (sexual risk avoidance) and counseling related to coercive relationships is also provided to all adolescent clients and others as appropriate. As a leading expert on family planning service delivery, the TFPP has established partnerships with community-based and faith-based organizations that enhance clients’ ability to achieve optimal health outcomes. The Tennessee Department of Health is the only agency with the capacity, staff, and expertise to administer Title X funds with integrity and without a gap in services in the state of Tennessee.
