The Health Department will help you to "plan" your family when you are ready and prevent one when you are not. Our compassionate and understanding staff will perform a physical exam to access your overall physical and sexual health.
We also provide education on available birth control options and information on how to effectively use birth control to prevent unplanned pregnancies and the transmission of sexually transmitted illnesses. Types of birth control we offer include:
Birth control pills
Condoms
DEPO shots
Mirena
Nexplanon
Paragard
Minor Rights
We encourage you to include your parents in your decisions and care. However, under the Minor Consent Law (PDF), parental consent is not required for Family Planning services. Your confidentiality is protected under this law. The North Carolina Consent Law Services document provides more information about your rights.
Fees
Fees for minors who receive confidential family planning services are based on a sliding fee scale on the teen's income only and may result in no out of pocket expense.
No one is denied services based on income or health insurance status.
