Target demographics: provide reproductive and sexual health services to adults and teens of all genders
Direct beneficiaries per year: over 4,000 people with subsidized reproductive healthcare services and reached over 6,000 youth with comprehensive sexuality education.
Geographic areas served: Boulder County, Colorado, with clinic locations in Boulder and Longmont
Programs: Family planning and gynecology program: the family planning and gynecology program offers comprehensive reproductive and sexual health care services within this specialized scope of practice. Services are available at clinics in longmont and boulder, co. All services in this program are provided on a sliding fee scale according to the patient's income. Private insurance and medicaid are also accepted. The expansion of insurance eligibility in 2014 under the affordable care act resulted in a significant increase in program revenue and better access to expanded healthcare for our patients. Advanced practice nurses (apns) provide well- woman care, prescribe and dispense birth control that best meets the needs of the patient, including long acting reversible methods of contraception. Men and women can be screened and tested for sexually transmitted infections and receive appropriate treatment when necessary. Women requiring gynecology services beyond the scope of practice of the apn are seen by a board-certified gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment. Transgender people can receive hormonal transition therapy. Permanent methods of contraception are available in-house for women and men. Women's health strives to remove barriers to healthcare access by providing specialized outreach and education for mono-lingual spanish speakers, youth and other marginalized populations. Some clinic hours are reserved to serve youth exclusively. In addition, women's health provided comprehensive sexual health education to 8,880 students in 2014.A collaborative program with the boulder county aids project provides interested youth with an opportunity to volunteer as a peer educator in the shape (sexual health and aids awareness peer education) program. Another collaborative program is the home-based contraception program that provides in-home injectable birth control to already-parenting teens in order to decrease the likelihood of a subsequent pregnancy during the teen years, a project with boulder county public health's genesis program. Women's health also provides education to younger siblings of genesis participants through the genesister program. Women's health provided healthcare services in the family planning and gynecology program to almost 4,300 people in 2014.The unintended pregnancy rate for patients seeking to avoid pregnancy was 1%, much lower than the 5% rate of reproductive age women in the u. S. Who experience an unintended pregnancy each year.
abortion program: for over 40 years, women's health has provided first trimester abortion services. Experienced medical staff provide ultrasound dating and in-office procedures or medication abortions (that are completed in the privacy of the patient's home). Masters-prepared counselors meet individually with each patient prior to the procedure to provide support and education. As a national abortion federation member (naf), women's health meets all the standards for high quality abortion care that naf requires of its members. Abortion care is provided on a fee for service basis, however, for those who have financial difficulty paying for the procedure, our reproductive equality fund and other funding sources can be utilized to offset the cost. Highly effective, long-acting, reversible contraception can be provided without charge at the time of the in-office procedure to those who qualify financially, thus reducing the likelihood of a subsequent unwanted pregnancy.
