 Family Planning
NICAO family planning clinics offer quality, confidential health care. Medical services are provided by nurse practitioners trained in family planning health care. Educational programs offered respond to local community needs.  Costs for service at NICAO's family planning clinics are based on ability to pay, and are often less than at other health centers. Services are free for people enrolled in Medicaid and those whose income is below the federal poverty guidelines, but there is no income limit for those choosing to access family planning services.
