Family Planning

What is Family Planning?

When it comes to protecting your health, it starts with a plan. Whether you’re planning on having a family now, considering starting one in the future, or not looking to start one at all, family planning is here to guide and support you along the way.

The support umbrella of family planning is vast and can range from birth control, extensive counseling and education, STD testing and treatment, extensive reproductive plans, and much more. Regardless of where you are in your journey, it’s about finding the healthy fit for you and your lifestyle.

We provide non-judgmental, equitable care to all individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender identity, religion, or ability to pay.

Birth Control

There are many of options when it comes to birth control. It can be challenging or even daunting to navigate on your own. Together, we can help you determine which form is best for you and your body.

Birth control options offered through the Casper-Natrona County Health Department include preconception counseling, education on abstinence, Natural Family Planning, contraceptive implant, condoms, oral contraceptive pills (combination and progestin-only), Intrauterine Devices (IUDs), NuvaRing, and the Depo-Provera shot.

All services are voluntary, and you have the opportunity to choose from a broad range of contraceptive options based on your reproductive life, personal preferences, and lifestyle.

STD Testing

Not only do we test for a wide variety of STDs and STIs, but we also help provide treatment and support. Testing is vital for your sexual health and is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of these infections and diseases. Treatment offered under the same roof is an added benefit of testing with the Health Department. Get personal reassurance while protecting yourself and the community.

Our STD/STI services include counseling, testing, and treatment. We test for: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, trichomoniasis, human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes, Hepatitis B and C.

Reproductive Health

Your reproductive life plans are the basis for building your personalized plan of care at the CNCHD. We base these plans on wellness rather than just treatment. We’ll use this plan as a basis for each visit.

We offer reproductive exams to all individuals while evaluating the entire system. We’re there for every step while providing you with referrals as needed.

We aim to promote positive sexual health to ensure safe and healthy pregnancies and births. We offer pregnancy tests and extensive counseling. If your pregnancy test is positive, you immediately gain access to resources, education, and next steps.
