Reproductive Health Care Services

Adolescents are encouraged to be seen regularly by their medical provider prior to becoming sexually active and while in their reproductive years. By completing an annual GAPS survey (Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services), the teen's health concerns have a format where the provider can first discuss the topics most important to the patient. Included in the survey are the teen's concerns about family planning and STDs. No judgments are made and all services are confidential. The Teen Health Center Program provides a unique and secure teen friendly atmosphere for discussing the sensitive topics of teen reproductive health and sexuality.

Reproductive Health Services offered include:

• Pap Smears and Vaginal Cultures
• STI Diagnosis and Treatment
• HIV/STI Counseling
• Family Planning
• Prenatal Care Enrollment

Medical Enrollment Assistance is available through the New Haven Medical Center Case Manager
