The Henry and Stark County Health Departments remind area residents of
their Family Planning clinic program.
Through the family planning clinic program, the Health Department hopes
to give women the information and means they need to plan pregnancies and
make responsible decisions. The program also hopes to detect other health
problems early in their development so that clients can be referred to other
health care providers for treatment.
Clinics are held in Kewanee at the Health Department offices, Route 78
South. Appointments, which are necessary, may be made by contacting the
Health Department.
The family planning program provides annual physical exams to area
women, including a breast exam and pap smear.
The clinic accepts medicaid payments and private pay. A sliding fee
scale, based on the client's income, had been established to assist
low-income families to obtain services. In addition, grant funds are
available for those who meet certain eligibility requirements.
In addition to contraceptive services, the clinic also offers pregnancy
testing.
For more information or to schedule an appointment call the Health
Department at (309) 852-5272 or visit our website at
www.henrystarkhealth.com. or find us on Facebook at Henry and Stark County
Health Departments.
