Family Planning

Abortion Services

Programs that provide access to pregnancy termination services for individuals who want to avoid an unplanned or unwanted birth.

Genetic Counseling

Programs that apply what is known about human genetics to advise prospective parents who are concerned about the recurrence of hereditary problems or abnormalities in their offspring or for others (adults and children) who may be at risk for a variety of inherited conditions and need information about their own prospects for health. Genetic counseling is also routinely offered to women, usually age 35 and older, who are considering a first pregnancy. Genetic counselors identify families at risk, investigate the problem present in the family, interpret information about the disorder, analyze inheritance patterns and risks of recurrence and review available options with the family. They also provide supportive counseling to families, serve as patient advocates and refer individuals and families to community or state support services.

A wide variety of procedures are available including the use of hormones or medication (fertility drugs) to stimulate egg/sperm production, assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization which involve retrieval of eggs and enhancement of eggs and/or sperm outside the body, embryo transfer (following in vitro fertilization or embryo donation), microsurgical procedures to improve the likelihood of embryo implantation in the uterus and embryo development, artificial insemination using the male partner's sperm or donor sperm, embryo donation, embryo/sperm cryopreservation and embryo adoption.
