Clinical services provide professional high-quality services to a diverse population in a personal and caring manner at the lowest possible cost.  Affordable routine healthcare such as injuries and ear infections, sore throat, respiratory infections, digestive disorders, pregancy tests, physical exams, vaccinations, lab testing, EKG services, and basic acute care are offered for the uninsured.

The Title X Family Planning Program is a federal grant program created in 1970 to provide comprehensive and confidential family planning services and preventive health services to people and families with low incomes. 

Any resident living in Lee or surrounding counties may receive free or low-cost family planning services at Lee County Health Department. Charges are based on income and family size. 

• Family planning services are provided to all individuals without regard to religion, race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex characteristics, number of pregnancies, or marital status.
• Parental involvement is encouraged with minors but is not a requirement to receive services.
• Funding is provided by Title X.

Offering these services to the uninsured and low income populations allows these groups to have access to services they may otherwise not.  

Having a child during one’s teenage years is associated with social, health, and financial burdens to the teen parents, their families, and their communities.  Teenage mothers are less likely to complete high school and more likely to live in poverty.  Children born to teenage parents are less likely to succeed in school, and more likely to drop out of school and be involved in the criminal justice system.  Although the teen birth rate in North Carolina has decreased significantly, teen birth remains high among American Indian, African American, and Hispanic populations. (HNC 2030, p.78) Although teen birth rates have been on the decline in Lee County (CHA p.156), our Community Health Assessment Focus Groups did list Teen Pregnancy as a concern (p.46) and these programs will address the need to keep the trend going in the right direction.
