COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has released a Request For Proposals for the Family Planning program.
Health Officer Rebecca Burns told the Community Health Agency’s Board of Health on Thursday that the RFP is for at least a 3-year funding cycle.
She said in her report, “The Michigan Family Planning Program ensures statewide access to high-quality, client-centered reproductive health care services, including a broad range of contraception, and related preventive health services for individuals and couples to achieve their reproductive goals for family size, spacing of their children, or pregnancy prevention at low or no cost.”
It’s been almost 15 years since the Community Health Agency last participated.
Burns feels this program is important to individuals and families in the tri-county area and they currently lack a local Provider.
She went on to say, “With increasing cases of STD’s and continued concern about teen pregnancy, again providing Family Planning services can make a difference.”
