Family Planning Services

The Title X Family Planning program was enacted in 1970 as Title X of the public health service act, public law 91-572 population research and voluntary family planning programs.

By statute, Title X funds are not used to pay for abortions. For more than 40 years, Title X family planning centers have provided high quality and cost-effective family planning and related preventive health services for low-income women and men.

Family planning centers play a critical role in ensuring access to voluntary family planning information and services for their clients based on their ability to pay.

Mission

The Title X mission is to assist individuals and couples in planning and spacing births, contributing to positive birth outcomes and improved health for women and infants.

Priorities

One of the Title X Program priorities is to assess clients’ Reproductive Life Plan (RLP) as part of determining the need for family planning services, and providing preconception services as appropriate.

Appropriations

Congressional appropriations fund the Title X grant program annually. The Department of Health is the grantee in New Mexico.

Providers

Services are provided through Public Health Offices, statewide and some community health centers and school-based health centers.
