In 1970,
Congress enacted Title X (ten) of the Public Health Service Act, the only
federal program - then and now - devoted solely to the nation-wide provision
of family planning services.
The Title X program, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, Office of Population Affairs, awards grants to approximately 85
delegate agencies in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
and the Pacific Basin to make contraceptive supplies and services available
to persons who want and need them but are unable to afford them without
government assistance.
Since 1970 the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health, Office of Maternal,
Child and Family Health, Family Planning Program has been the sole Federal
Title X grantee in West Virginia. The Program also receives
funding from Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant, Title XIX/Medicaid
and State Appropriations.
The WV Family Planning Program contracts with approximately 148 local county health
departments, primary care and rural health centers, college and university
student health clinics, hospitals, and private medical practices to deliver
clinical family planning services to eligible individuals.
