May marks National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month, and First Choice Healthcare Clinics in Kewanee, Colona, and Toulon are highlighting their family planning and reproductive health services. The clinics aim to empower women with resources to make informed choices and maintain their health. Services include annual exams, breast and Pap smears, contraceptive options, and pregnancy testing. Notably, birth control can also be used for regulating periods or treating acne. A sliding fee scale and grant funds help ensure services are affordable, or even free, based on income.
