Neighborhood Healthsource offers a comprehensive family planning program with services for men, women, couples, teens, parents and families. Our team of health professionals provides public information, community outreach, education and counseling, assistance with accessing birth control methods, referrals, and follow-up care. We offer health education at any of our three clinic sites and in the community. Men and women may be seen by appointment and/or on a walk-in basis. Additionally, health educators are available to provide one-on-one and group educational sessions. Funding for this project is provided by the Minnesota Department of Health.
If you are eligible, we will help you enroll in the Minnesota Family Planning Program (MFPP). Through MFPP you can get different types of birth control, as well as testing and treatment for a variety of reproductive health concerns. These services are free to you.
Community Health Outreach Workers are available, at no cost, for community outreach events, fairs and educational sessions.
