Birth control prevents unintended pregnancies, enabling you to plan for a future that aligns with your health, career, and life goals. Emergency contraception provides a backup option to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if a dose of birth control is missed, offering peace of mind and control over reproductive choices.
Birth Control and Emergency Contraception
Wellness examinations confirm your overall health by identifying potential issues and making sure you're in the best health possible. Regular check-ups allow for proactive care, keeping you informed and empowered to make decisions that support your well-being.

Pregnancy Testing
Pregnancy tests, especially in conjunction with the use of birth control, help confirm you are not pregnant and that your chosen birth control method(s) is/are working. This is essential for making informed decisions about your health and future. Early detection of pregnancy allows for timely care and support and ultimately empowers you to make the best decisions about your path to the future.
Safer sex supplies, such as condoms, prevent unintended pregnancies and protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These supplies enable safer sexual practices and contribute to overall sexual health, enabling you to make appropriate decisions about your life.
