Family Planning Services of Lorain County

Family Planning Services of Lorain County Do we offer abortion services? While FPS does not offer abortion services, we respect an individual’s right to their own healthcare.

We provide external resources for all pregnancy options, including prenatal care, adoption services and abortion. Family Planning Services of Lorain County (FPS) is a non-profit, reproductive healthcare organization with medical offices in Elyria, Ohio. We have been providing care to Lorain County residents since 1969. We provide confidential, high quality and low-cost reproductive health care to men and women. You can obtain an exam, birth control including IUDs and implants, emergency contraception, pregnancy testing, STI screening and treatment, health education and more. We also provide Early Intervention and transportation services for HIV+ individuals through the Ryan White Part A program. Our services are very affordable. We accept most medical insurance and have a sliding fee scale for those who do not have insurance. We also have insurance enrollment on-site to help you obtain health insurance. No one is turned away due to inability to pay. Each year we care for thousands of individuals just like you. We have regular clinic hours Monday through Friday, and one Saturday per month. Walk-in appointments are now welcome, and telehealth is available for many services.

We are deeply grateful to the American Legion Post 211 for their generous $1,000 donation to Family Planning Services! 💙This isn’t the first time they’ve stepped up to support our mission, and their continued commitment means the world to us.

A special thank you to Chaplain Gary Garner, pictured here proudly holding the check. Post 211 has long been a partner in our work—and even hosted our recent Boozy Bingo event! Their support helps us ensure compassionate, confidential care remains accessible to everyone in our community.

Thank you Post 211 for standing with us.

Tammy's turn with the banner! Although National Nurse Practitioner Week has wrapped up, we want to take a moment to recognize the vital work our NPs do every day.

Today we're shouting out Tammy, who has been an NP for seven years and happily joined our team Family Planning Services of Lorain County earlier this year. She has brought tremendous experience, compassion, and dedication to our small clinic, and we are grateful for the impact she’s already made.

Thank you, Tammy, and thank you to all Nurse Practitioners for all you do!

💜 World Prematurity Day 💜

Today, we recognize the strength of families with premature babies—including our own team member, Alexis Dedek.

“When my baby girl arrived earlier than expected, I was deeply grateful for the unwavering support of my FPS coworkers throughout my postpartum recovery, our family’s NICU journey, and beyond. Having their encouragement and the time and space to be fully present and focusing on my family meant more than words can express. Supporting women's wellbeing has always been at the heart of our mission, and I want our community to know FPS's commitment truly runs deep"

At Family Planning Services, caring for families is at the heart of what we do and that includes the families of our employees.

💜 To all families with preemies, we see your strength today and every day.

Most cancers start without symptoms. It’s important to get regular, age appropriate screenings for prevention and early detection. Talk to your health care provider about which screenings may be right for you, and at which age. Here at Family Planning Services of Lorain County we regularly screen for breast, cervical and testicular cancers and can get you in quickly even if you are uninsured.
