North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services proposes to provide client-centered, high-quality, voluntary, comprehensive care to individuals seeking family planning and related services across North Carolina by focusing on expanding access, ensuring quality, and working towards achieving equity and reproductive justice for all. The reproductive health services include but are not limited to: a broad range of medically approved contraceptive methods, pregnancy testing and counseling, assistance to achieve pregnancy, basic infertility services, sexually transmitted infection services, and other preconception health services, including reproductive life planning. Every effort is made to ensure that families with incomes at or below 100% of the federal poverty level are given priority in receiving family planning services. Clients with incomes between 100% and 250% are also given priority, but are charged according to a sliding fee scale. The Reproductive Health Unit within the Division of Public Health's Women's Health Branch provides oversight, management, technical assistance, training, consultation and monitoring to 84 subrecipient agencies in the provision of Title X services across the state. Services that are provided are of high quality, efficient and grounded in research. Working with a variety of partners expands the knowledge and reach to those populations in need and strengthens the system of care. It is important to continually recognize and understand the varied issues clients are facing across the state. This allows for adaptability within the program to ensure effective connection with clients. By forming strong partnerships across the state of North Carolina, access and quality services to clientele are maximized now and moving forward. The Title X funding that North Carolina receives is critical for addressing the needs of our most vulnerable populations. Title X funding provides opportunities for access to care for many North Carolinians, ultimately providing them choices and improving their health outcomes.
