Family Planning Clinic

The Florida Department of Health in Escambia County’s (FDOH-Escambia) Family Planning Clinic offers a variety of modern methods of birth control and appropriate referrals. Family Planning also provides abstinence counseling and information about natural family planning.

Before you receive birth control through the DOH-Escambia, you will have a clinical exam by a nurse practitioner or doctor. This exam includes a pelvic and a pap test (If you are due for one) to screen for cervical cancer.
