FAMILY PLANNING COUNCIL OF IOWA

Training and the provision of information are important components of assuring access to high-quality reproductive healthcare. Fpci develops and offers programs and events that deliver educational information and training on family planning-related issues to healthcare professionals and the general public. Through fpci's community education programs with the network of subrecipient agencies, over 31,000 individuals participated in more than 1,100 community outreach and education programs. Services were also promoted and education provided through social media. Fpci has taken a proactive role in outreach with the distribution of free reproductive health kits across the state. These kits include condoms, personal lubricant, pregnancy tests, emergency contraceptive pills, and a resource guide with sexual and reproductive health information specific to iowa. Over 10,000 kits have been provided to title x clinics, universities, community organizations, distributed at events, and mailed directly to individuals across iowa. By circulating these kits, fpci is increasing access to vital reproductive health resources for communities and individuals who may encounter barriers to care.
