What Family Planning Service of Lorain County does

Family Planning Service of Lorain County (FPS), doing business as FPS, is a nonprofit reproductive and sexual health care provider founded in 1969 and headquartered at 602 Leona Street, Elyria, Ohio. The organization operates as the largest provider of reproductive and family planning services in Lorain County, serving thousands of individuals and families annually. Services span STI screening and treatment, Pap tests and cervical cancer screening (including colposcopy), HIV testing (rapid, walk-in), PrEP and PEP, birth control (oral contraceptives, IUDs, implants, Depo Provera, Nuva Ring, condoms, diaphragm, natural family planning), pregnancy testing, emergency contraception, pelvic exams, UTI care, male reproductive services, and HPV vaccination. Education and outreach programs deliver presentations on anatomy, puberty, pregnancy prevention, STIs, HIV, healthy relationships, consent, and harm reduction in schools, correctional facilities, substance use treatment centers, and community settings.

Service delivery combines a fixed clinic, an in-development mobile medical van, telehealth with mail-order birth control, and a 24/7 harm reduction vending machine dispensing naloxone kits, fentanyl test strips, medication disposal bags, pregnancy tests, safer sex items, and period products at no cost. Revenue is generated through a multi-stream model: Title X federal funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Medicaid and private insurance reimbursement, a sliding fee scale for uninsured/underinsured patients, on-site insurance enrollment assistance, individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and annual fundraising events such as Boozy Bingo. The organization maintains bilingual staff capacity and partners with Change the Cycle (Women's Fund / Community Foundation of Lorain County) for menstrual product distribution and with the Harm Reduction Clinic in Lorain for free HIV testing.
