Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and the enduring contributions of Black Americans.

Freedom also includes the ability to make informed decisions about if, when, and how you create a family. We reaffirm our commitment to offering high-quality, affordable, and culturally responsive s*xual and reproductive healthcare.

It's Adult S*x Ed Month!

It may seem like everyone receives s*x ed in their teens, but that’s not the case! Many teens receive inaccurate s*x ed, abstinence-only s*x ed, or no s*x ed at all. Education is important at all ages, and it's never too late to learn something new!

You have the right to understand your body, so if you have questions about your s*xual health, reach out to your healthcare provider.

If you're looking for a trusted s*xual healthcare provider, visit a Title X clinic! Find a clinic near you by going to our website: https://fpcouncil.org/find-a-clinic/

We are thrilled to announce that sunscreen has joined our lineup of vending machine products!

Iowa summers can get pretty hot, and too much exposure to the sun can cause sunburns and lead to skin cancer. Sunscreen is a public health tool that shields your skin by absorbing or reflecting the sun's rays before they can pe*****te your skin and cause damage.

If you'll be spending time outside this summer and need some sunscreen, stop by our vending machine outside of the Polk County Health Department!

The addition of sunscreen to the vending machine is made possible by the Iowa Cancer Consortium, the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, and the University of Iowa Health Care Melanoma Program.

We are honored to be continuing the legacy of FPCI and are working hard to continue to increase access to s*xual and reproductive healthcare for all Iowans.

If you want to give FPCI a birthday present, please consider donating! Every dollar we receive goes towards furthering our mission. You can donate $46 for FPCI's 46 years!
