Family Planning

Family Planning offers a variety of modern methods of birth control as well as pregnancy testing and appropriate referrals.

Before you receive birth control through the health department, you will receive a clinical exam by a Nurse Clinician Practitioner or a Doctor. This exam includes a pap test to screen for cervical cancer and breast exam. The health department also provides abstinence counseling. 

Cost

  • Adults:  The cost for birth control will depend on your ability to pay. Call (850) 595-6554 for more information about cost.

  • Teens:  Birth control is offered free to women through 19 years of age.

Methods of Birth Control

The health department offers several types of birth control, some require a prescription:

  • Condoms

  • Birth control pills

  • IUD

  • Diaphragm

  • Patch and Nuva Ring only through prescription that you take to a pharmacy. We do not give out these two methods at our location. The health department nurse or doctor will decide if this is the best method for you.
