WHAT IS REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH?
Reproductive Health, also known as family planning, helps prevent unplanned pregnancies. We help families and individuals plan and space their pregnancies. These services are available to both women and men.
The family planning clinic is staffed by experienced advanced practice registered nurses or nurse practitioners specializing in family planning.
If needed, a patient can be referred to OU Women's Clinic for further evaluation by an OB/GYN physician. In this case, a second appointment with OU would be scheduled.
WHAT SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?
For clients with a scheduled appointment with the nurse practitioner:
- Family planning focused for men and women.
- STI Screening
- Routine breast exams starting at age 25. Referrals for diagnostic mammograms and ultrasound if needed, referral for screening mammogram at age 40.
- Pap smears starting at age 21.
